Procedure

A solution of 27.5 g (0.125 mol) of 3,4-dichloroanilinoacetic acid, 190 ml of dichloroethane, 15 ml (0.2 mol) of ethanol and 1.5 ml of concentrated H2SO4 is heated for 4 hours under reflux. It is washed with water and with dilute sodium bicarbonate, dried and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The ester is recrystallised from ethanol and is obtained in a yield of 78%. It melts at 103°-104° C.
