Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.92 gm (0.05 mol) of acetyl chloride in 20 ml of absolute toluene was allowed to flow into a solution of 10.0 gm (0.038 mol) of 3-(2-chloro-4-biphenylyl)-1-butanol and 5.0 gm (0.05 mol) of triethylamine in 100 ml of absolute toluene at room temperature; the resulting mixed solution was then stirred for several hours and was subsequently heated for 1 hour at 100°C. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool, water was then added, the toluene phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with ether. The combined organic solutions were washed until neutral, dried and evaporated, and the residue was distilled in vacuo, yielding 9.21 gm (80% of theory) of the desired ester in the form of a colorless oil having a boiling point of 145°-152°C at 0.06 mm Hg.
