Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Ethyl orthoformate | HCID 31214 | — |
| Reactant | 3-Chloro-2-methylbenzoic acid | HCID 82010 | — |
| Product | Ethyl 3-chloro-2-methylbenzoate | HCID 13187238 | 89% |
Reaction Steps
A mixture of 34 g. (0.2 mol) of 2-methyl-3-chlorobenzoic acid and 50 mL. of commercially available triethylorthoformate was refluxed for 6 hours, upon which bulb-to-bulb distillation gave 35.5 g. (89% yield) of ethyl-3-chloro-2-methylbenzoate as a clear liquid having a boiling point of 80° C. at a pressure of 0.1 mmHg.
