Potassium Carbonate → HCID 54401622, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared by admixing 250 milliliters of acetonitrile, 55.3 grams (0.4 mole) of potassium carbonate, 42.5 grams (0.16 mole) of 2-(3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridyloxy)ethanol and 32.3 grams (0.2 mole) of 2,2-dichloropropionyl chloride. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days. The solids which formed were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residual material which remained was dissolved in hexane and washed with water. The hexane was removed under a reduced pressure to yield a pale-orange liquid having a refractive index of n/25D=1.5239. The product was confirmed to be 2-(3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridyloxy)ethyl 2,2-dichloro propionate by its infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrums.
