Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-phenoxybutyrate was reacted with acetyl chloride in a similar manner to that described above for 3-[4-(chloroacetyl)phenyl]propionic acid, except that the crude product was triturated with petrol to give methyl 4-[4-(chloroacetyl)phenoxy]butyrate as a crystalline solid which was pure by TLC analysis (on silica plates; eluant: 50% ether/50% petrol).
