Conditions

Temperature
40 °C

Procedure

Chlorosulfonic acid (87 ml) was added dropwise to ethyl phenylacetate (48 g), and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (1000 ml), and the separated oily substance was extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride layer was washed successively with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave ethyl 4-chlorosulfonylphenylacetate (42 g).
