Procedure

A well stirred mixture of ethyl 3-(4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoyl)propionate (9.6 g, 0.037 mole), potassium carbonate (5.96 g, 0.043 mole) epibromohydrin (14.4 ml, 0.173 mole) and dry butan-2-one (250 ml) was heated under reflux for 28 hours. Evaporation of the filtered solution under reduced pressure and purification of the residue by column chromatography gave ethyl 3-[4-chloro-2-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzoyl]-propionate as an oil (10.0 g, 86%).
