Procedure: 179.5 g (1.3 mol) of potassium carbonate and, a little at a time, 94.5 g (0.62 mol) of 3-bromopropionic acid were added to a solution of 125.4 g (0.62 mol) of methyl 2-mercapto-4-chlorobenzoate in 1.5 l of acetone, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The solvent was distilled off, the residue was taken up in water and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was then made acidic using concentrated hydrochloric acid and the precipitate was filtered off with suction and dried. This gave 160 g (88%) of methyl 2-(2-hydroxycarbonyeth-1-yl)thio-4-chlorobenzoate M.p.: 133 to 136° C. The solvent was distilled off the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether the precipitate was filtered off with suction dried

Conditions: temp:70.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Over a period of 1.5 hours, 243.5 g (3.7 mol) of zinc powder were added a little at a time to a suspension of 205 g (0.75 mol) of methyl 2-chlorosulfonyl-4-chlorobenzoate in 1 l of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 375 g of ice. Stirring was continued for 3 hours, and the mixture was then slowly heated to 70° C. After 2 hours at this temperature, the mixture was cooled. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 12 hours and then extracted with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases [lacuna] and the solvent was removed. This gave 125.4 g (83%) of methyl 2-mercapto-4-chlorobenzoate. was continued for 3 hours After 2 hours at this temperature the mixture was cooled to stand at room temperature for 12 hours extracted with ethyl acetate the combined organic phases [lacuna] and the solvent was removed

The solvent was distilled off, the residue was taken up in water and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was then made acidic using concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the resulting precipitate was filtered off with suction and dried. This gave 150 g (88%) of methyl 2-(2-hydroxycarbonyleth-1-yl)thio-4-chlorobenzoate. The solvent was distilled off the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether the resulting precipitate was filtered off with suction dried
