Carbon Tetrachloride → HCID 19901499, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Four point five grams of 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid were dispersed in a mixed solvent of 30 ml of carbon tetrachloride and 5 ml of pyridine and then heated. 3.7 g of nonanic acid chloride was dropped into the mixture with refluxing. After heating 3 hours the solvent was removed from the mixture. After decomposing unreacted nonanic acid chloride by adding a small amount of water, the residue was washed with methanol to obtain 3-chloro-4-octylcarbonyloxybenzoic acid (AE). After dispersing the compound (AE) into 20 ml of carbon tetrachloride, (AE) was reacted with 5 ml of thionyl chloride with refluxing for 3 hours. 6.5 g of 3-chloro-4-octylcarbonyloxybenzoic acid chloride (AF) was obtained after removing solvent.
