反应详情

A mixture of ethyl α-fluoro-α-isopropyl-4-chlorophenylacetate (1.42 g) and potassium hydroxide (0.35 g) in methanol (5 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was acidified with hydrochloric acid, diluted with water and the aqueous mixture extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent removed by distillation under reduced pressure to give α-fluoro-α-isopropyl-4-chlorophenylacetic acid (1.10 g; 87%) m.p. 120° C.
