Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 0.79 g (4.1 mmol) of 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester, 1.13 g (8.14 mmol) of K2CO3 and 1.6 mL (16.3 mmol) of 1-bromo-2-chloro-ethane in 10 mL of isobutyl methyl ketone was refluxed for 5 hours. After filtering, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure affording 0.98 g (94% yield) of 4-(2-chloro-ethoxy)-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester.
