Reaction Steps

Metacresyl benzoate was prepared by vigorously shaking a mixture of metacresol (1 equivalent, 5 grams) and benzoyl chloride (1.2 equivalents, 7.1 grams) in a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (100 ml) in a stoppered flask for 15 minutes. The white crystalline solid thus formed was removed by filtration, washed with water and dried to yield metacresyl benzoate.
