2,4,5-Trichlorophenol → HCID 14217445, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of decanoyl chloride (Pfaltz and Bauer, 5.6 ml), and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (5.6 g) in diethyl ether (1 L ) and pyridine (120 ml) is stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered and dried in vacuo. The 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl n-decanoate is purified on a silica-gel column (Woelm), using toluene as the eluent. Fractions are monitored by TLC, using short-wave UV for detection. Appropriate fractions are pooled and dried in vacuo to give 10.4 g of 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl n-decanoate.
