Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenylacetate was prepared by the general experimental method from 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenylboronic acid (186 mg, 1.00 mmol). This involved using 290 mg [5 mmol] of KF and 418 mg [2.5 mmol] of ethyl bromoacetate. After workup by column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, 5:1), ethyl 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenylacetate is obtained as a colourless liquid in a yield of 68% of theory. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=7.02 (s, 2H), 4.13 (q, J=0.7 Hz, 2H), 3.62 (s, 2H), 2.29 (s, 6H), 1.23 (t, J=7.2 HZ, 3H) ppm; 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3): δ=170.8, 139.0, 132.2, 131.6, 130.3, 127.9, 113.6, 60.8, 35.0, 20.1, 14.2 ppm; MS (70 eV), m/z (%): 226 (22) [M+], 180 (9), 153 (100), 115 (17), 91 (11); IR (NaCl): ν=2980 (m), 1733 (s), 1328 (w), 1155 (m), 1030 (m) cm−1; elemental analysis: (theor): C=63.58, H=6.67, (exp): C=63.30, H=6.78.
