Potassium Hydroxide → Potassium alpha-isopropyl-4-chlorophenylacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

α-Isopropyl-4-chlorophenylacetic acid (1.3 g) was dissolved in ethanol (10 ml) and a solution of potassium hydroxide (0.34 g) in water (5 ml) was added to the ethanolic solution. The solvents were then removed by distillation under reduced pressure to give anhydrous potassium α-isopropyl-4-chlorophenylacetate.
