Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Acetyl chloride | HCID 6367 | — |
| Reactant | 3-(p-Tolyl)acrylic acid | HCID 15835 | — |
| Solvent | Methanol | HCID 887 | — |
| Product | Methyl 3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-propenoate | HCID 589472 | — |
Reaction Steps
A solution of 6.0 g (37.0 mmol) of 4-methylcinnamic acid in 120 ml of anhydrous MeOH was treated with 6 ml of acetyl chloride and stirred at reflux for 18 hours. Evaporation of the MeOH gave the title ester as a white solid, mp 53.5°-57.5° C.
