Reaction Steps
One gram of 2-(4-phenoxymethylphenoxy)-propionitrile (obtainable from 4-phenoxymethylphenol and 2-bromopropionitrile) is refluxed in 15 ml. of ethanol and 2 ml. of water with 2 g. of KOH for 40 hours. The mixture is then evaporated and worked up as usual, yielding 2-(4-phenoxymethylphenoxy)-propionic acid.
