Allyl bromide → HCID 14838643, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate (2c) (45.0 g, 0.24 mol), allyl bromide (62.6 ml, 0.75 mol) and ground potassium carbonate (66.67 g, 0.48 mol) in 750 ml of dry acetone was heated under reflux for 21/2 hours. The inorganic salt was removed by filtration, and the solvent and excess allyl bromide in the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to yield compound 3c quantitatively as a white solid, mp 25°-26° C. IR (nujol) 1738 (ester) cm-1. NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.63 (d, 1H, JBC =3 Hz, HC), 7.27 (d of d, 1H, JAB =9 Hz, HB), 6.77 (d. 1H, HA), 6.30-6.47 (m, 3H, olefinic protons) and 3.87 (s, 3H, CH3).
