PREPARATION OF TRICLOPYR, ITS INTERMEDIATE AND BUTOXYETHYL ESTER

摘要

This invention relates to process for preparation of Triclopyr, Triclopyr- butoxyethyl ester & its intermediate viz. 2-butoxyethyl chloroacetate. Triclopyr is prepared by hydrolysis of its alkyl esters. Triclopyr- butoxyethyl ester is prepared by reaction of triclopyr and 2-butoxyethanol in presence of a catalyst. Triclopyr-butoxyethyl ester is also prepared by transesterification from alkyl esters of Triclopyr. 2-butoxyethyl chloroacetate is prepared by reaction of chloroacetic acid and 2-butoxyethanol in presence of a catalyst.
