Methyl 4-chlorobenzoate → HCID 58573710, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1 M in tetrahydrofuran, 117 mL) was slowly added to a −78° C. solution of 2-(3-chlorophenyl) acetic acid (10 g, 58.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (58 mL) over 1 hour. After stirring at −78° C. for 40 minutes, a solution of methyl 4-chlorobenzoate (10 g, 58.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (35 mL) was added over a period of 10 minutes. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 3 hours then allowed to warm to 25° C. After two hours at 25° C., the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and most of the tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The product was recrystallized from ether/pentane to provide the title compound as a white solid.
