Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.93 g (0.05 mole) of 2-chloroethyl methyl carbonate, 7.03 g (0.05 mole) of benzoyl chloride and 0.85 g (0.0025 mole) of tetra-n-butylphosphonium bromide was heated to 150° C. After 3 hours, gas evolution had ceased and distillation gave 5.44 g (59 percent yield) of 2-chloroethyl benzoate at b.p. 81° C.-82° C./0.4 mm Hg.
