Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 80 g of 3-chlorophenyl-carboxylic acid chloride in 100 ml of anhydrous benzene was added dropwise with stirring at 10° C. to a mixture of 5.87 g of 4-chlorophenol, 46.1 g of triethylamine and 250 ml of anhydrous benzene and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was vacuum filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain 122 g of raw product which was crystallized from 200 ml of a 2-8 ethyl ether-petroleum ether (b.p.=60°-80° C.) mixture to obtain 116 g of 4-chlorophenyl 3-chlorobenzoate melting at 72° C.
