Reaction Steps

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetyl chloride (5.3 g, 0.25 mole), was added portionwise to a solution of 2-hydroxyethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate (10 g, 0.25 mole) and pyridine (70 ml). The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. for 1 hr., cooled and taken into 500 ml CH2Cl2. The methylene chloride solution was washed two times with water, dried and concentrated to 12.5 g of gummy material. The crude gum was chromatographed through silica gel (3:10, ethyl acetate:hexane) to give 2.3 g of pure 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetoxy)ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; nmr (DMSO) 4.20-4.76 (m, 4H), 5.04 (S, 2H), 6.96-8.42 (m, 9H); ir (CHCl3) 1755, 1770 Cm-1.
