Procedure

Phenyl-3-chlorobenzoate is prepared by reacting 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride with phenol in toluene with some pyridine (1 mol equivalent per acid chloride) to trap the HCl that evolves. After aqueous extraction or the pyridinium salt and any excess starting materials, the product is crystallized from the toluene solution.
