Participants

Reaction Steps

Phenylacetyl chloride (9.4 g) was added dropwise to 4-bromophenol (10 g) in pyridine, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-bromophenyl phenylacetate.
