Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL rb flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and a reflux condenser was added a solution of 10.33 g (55.4 mmol) of methyl 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoate dissolved in 110 mL of acetone and 5.27 mL (60.9 mmol) of allyl bromide and 15.30 g (0.111 mol) of powdered potassium carbonate was added. The reaction was stirred and refluxed for 6 hours, then cooled and filtered. The tiltrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified on a silica gel flash chromatography column eluted with 10% EtOAc-hexane to afford 10.462 g (84%) of the title compound.
