Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

21.0 g (0.39 mole) of potassium hydroxide are added to a solution of 62.6 g (0.26 mole) of 3-tert-butyl-2-chlorobenzyl acetate in 400 ml of ethanol. The reaction mixture is stirred for 6 hours at 50° C. and evaporated and the residue is taken up with water. The aqueous mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. 51 g (quantitative) of 3-tert-butyl-2-chlorobenzyl alcohol of boiling point 103°-105° C./0.2 mbar are obtained from the organic phase.
