methyl 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)propanoate

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

Procedure: To a stirred mixture of 22 parts of methyl 2,4-dichlorobenzeneacetate and 135 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide are added 3.1 parts of sodium hydride dispersion 78% while nitrogen gas is introduced. The whole is stirred till foaming has ceased and cooled in an ice-bath. Then there are added dropwise 16 parts of iodomethane. Upon completion, stirring is continued for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is poured onto water and the product is extracted with 2,2'-oxybispropane. The extract is washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 20 parts (80%) of methyl 2,4-dichloro-α-methylbenzeneacetate as a residue. is introduced cooled in an ice-bath Upon completion, stirring The reaction mixture is poured onto water the product is extracted with 2,2'-oxybispropane The extract is washed with water dried filtered evaporated
