Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (4.14 grams) and methyl iodide (3.74 ml) were added to a solution of 1,2,2-trichlorocyclopropane carboxylic acid (5.68 grams) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (50 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for approximately 20 hours and then filtered. Ethyl ether (250 ml) was added to the filtrate and the resultant mixture was washed, dried, and evaporated in vacuo to the desired product, methyl 1,2,2-trichlorocyclopropane carboxylate. Structure of the product was confirmed by NMR.
