Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl p-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)benzimidate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dry hydrogen chloride was passed through a mixture of ethyl 2-p-cyanophenoxyacetate (30.75 g.), diethyl ether (500 ml.) and ethanol (10 ml.) at 0°-5° C. until the solution was saturated with hydrogen chloride, and the mixture was kept at 0° C. for 3 days and then filtered. There was thus obtained as solid residue ethyl p-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)benzimidate hydrochloride,
