Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 67040724, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-Benzyloxy-phenol (2.00 g, 0.01 mol) and potassium hydroxide (1.12 g, 0.02 mol) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. A solution of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2.01 g, 0.01 mol) in dimethylsulfoxide (5 mL) was added and the mixture heated to 120° for 1 hour. The reaction was then cooled in an ice bath and poured into 100 mL of ice-water. The mixture was acidified with concentrated HCl to pH 3 then the resultant solid was colleted by vacuum filtration, washed with water and dried in a vacuum oven to provide the title product (3.5 g, 96%).
