Sodium Chloride → HCID 23002572, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a well-stirred reaction vessel equipped with a thermometer and a pH electrode were added 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)acetyl 1-methyl-1-propyl carbonate (0.012 mole), 20 ml of diethyl ether, and 20 ml of a 25 wt % aqueous NaCl solution. The reaction mixture was cooled to below 10° C. and the pH was increased to a value above 11 using a 25 wt % aqueous NaOH solution. Then, TBHP (0.013 mole) was dosed with this temperature and pH being maintained. The mixture was post-reacted for 90 min at a temperature between 0 and 10° C. and a pH of above 11. Working up was as described in Example 1. After evaporation of the diethyl ether, 2.3 g of tert-butylperoxy 4-methoxyphenoxyacetate (an orange oil) having a content of 92.5% were obtained in a yield of 70%.
