Reaction Steps
A cold (0° C.) mixture of ethylene glycol monobenzoate (166g) and paraformaldehyde (30g) in dry dichloroethane was saturated with dry HCl with stirring for 3 hours. The pinkish red liquid was dried over calcium chloride and the volatile components removed on a rotary evaporator at 30° C. to give 1-benzoyloxy-2-chloromethoxyethane (215g). The Infra-Red spectrum indicated the absence of a hydroxyl group.
