PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF TERTIARY ALCOHOL ESTERS

摘要

A process for preparing tertiary alcohol esters represented by the general formula: Z-C(-R<2>)2-O-C(=O)-R<3> [wherein Z is a mono- or poly-cyclic aromatic or nonaromatic ring; R<2> is a hydrocarbon group; and R<3> is a hydrocarbon group or a heterocyclic group], which comprises reacting a carboxylic acid derivative represented by the general formula: Z-C(=O)-R<1> [wherein R<1> is halogeno or OR (wherein R is hydrogen or hydrocarbyl)] with an organometallic compound represented by the general formula: R<2>-M [wherein M is a metal atom optionally bearing a ligand, or MgY (wherein Y is halogeno)] and a carboxylic acid halide represented by the general formula: X-C(=O)-R<3>[wherein X is halogeno].
