Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (0.79 g, 0.01 mole) was added to a solution of 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate (0.25 g, 0.00056 mole) and THF (10 ml). The solution was held at reflux for 3 hrs., cooled and concentrated. The residue was taken into 250 ml of ether, washed two times with water and dried over MgSO4. After the solvent was stripped off, 2.1 g of 3-Acetoxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate was obtained as a yellowish gum, nmr (CDCl3) δ 1.0 (s, 6H), 2.03 (s, 3H), 3.87 (s, 2H), 4.12 (s, 2H), 6.96-8.22 (m, 6H); ir (CHCl3) 1743 Cm-1.
