Product 1

HCID 31229Phenyl acetate

Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 is repeated except that 5 mmols of benzene are employed instead of the phenyl iodide of Example 1. Also, an additional 10 mls. of acetic acid solvent is employed. After the 4 hours of reaction at 75° C., no detectable phenyl acetate is formed. This again underscores the criticality of use of an aryl iodide of this invention as catalyst.

Workup
