2,4,5-Trichlorophenol → HCID 12952183, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of n-tridecanoic acid (Sigma Chemical Co.) (12.5 g.), 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (11.5 g.), and N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (12.0 g.) in methylene chloride (650 ml.) is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is then filtered and dried in vacuo to give 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl n-tridecanoate (22 g.). The material is purified by column chromatography over silica gel (Woelm) using toluene as the eluent. Fractions are monitored by TLC using a shortwave U.V. light for detection. Fractions containing the purified product are pooled and concentrated in vacuo to dryness.
