2-Chloroethyl methyl ether → HCID 22927120, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

First, 200 ml of a toluene solution of triethylphosphine (triethylphosphine content, approx. 20%; product of Kanto Chemical) was mixed with 50 ml of 2-methoxyethyl chloride (Kanto Chemical) to effect a reaction, which was carried out under refluxing for 24 hours. The solvent was then distilled off at normal pressure, following which the remaining solvent and unreacted reagents were completed removed by distillation using a vacuum pump. The residue was recrystallized from an ethanol-THF system, yielding 45 g of 2-methoxyethyltriethylphosphonium chloride.
