Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(4'-Chlorobenzyloxy)benzyl nicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.2g of 4-(4'-chlorobenzyloxy)benzyl alcohol, 1.0g of triethylamine and 25 ml of anhydrous benzene was added 0.9g of hydrochloride of nicotinoyl chloride at 10° C. The whole mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to give a crystalline residue. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 1.2g of 4-(4'-chlorobenzyloxy)benzyl nicotinate, mp 101°-2° C.
