1,4-Dichlorobutane → HCID 13981082, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction conditions of Example 37 are substantially repeated employing 1,4-dichlorobutane (190.52 g, 1.5 moles), dimethyl carbonate (135.0 g, 1.5 moles) and 30.0 g of DOWEX® MWA-1 beads. After 2 hours at 150° C., distillation gives 34.5 g (13.8 percent yield based on 1,4-dichlorobutane) of 4-chlorobutyl methyl carbonate, b.p. 66° C.-67° C. (0.5 torr).
