Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.4 g. of the carboxylic acid prepared according to (c) in 50 ml. of ether was combined with such an amount of ethereal diazomethane solution that there was no longer any liberation of nitrogen during the addition of the reagent and the yellow coloring of the reaction solution remained. Excess diazomethane and solvent were then removed under vacuum, and the residue was distilled with the aid of a water jet aspirator, thus obtaining 10.6 g. of final product, b.p. 87°-89° (18 mm.).
