Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid

Sodium hydride 0.24 g (0.01 mol) was dissolved in 10 ml of dry DMF. After 30 min, a solution of 3,4-dichloro phenol 1.63 g (0.01 mol) dissolved in 5 ml of DMF was added in drops. The reaction mixture was heated to 100 C. After 1 hour, β-propiolactone, 0.72 g (0.628 ml, 0.01 mol) was added slowly for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was further continued heating for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured over ice-cold water 10 ml was added. This diluted mixture was acidified by the addition of Con. HCl. The product was extracted twice with diethyl ether (20 ml). The ether layer was then washed with 10% Sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH=2. The precipitated solid was filtered and dried to afford the required product 3-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (PC165).
