反应详情

A mixture of 1.9 g of p-isobutylphenylacetic acid, 10 ml of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and 1 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was refluxed for 5 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured into ice-water. The resulting mixture was neutralized with adding 5% sodium carbonate solution, and then extracted with ether. The ether layer separated was dehydrated and concentrated to leave an oily residue. The residue was distilled in vacuo to yield 2.3 g of p-isobutylphenylacetic acid-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ester as a colorless liquid, boiling at 78°-79° C./1 mmHg. Analysis-Calculated for C14H17F3O2 : C, 61.30; H, 6.25. Found: C, 61.01; H, 6.15. Mass spectrum: parent ion 274 m/e.
