FOERFARANDE FOER FRAMSTAELLNING AV 2-(PARA-SUBSTITUERAD FENOXI)-2-ALKYLPROPIONSYROR OCH DERAS ALKYLESTRAR.

摘要

A process is provided for production of an alkyl 2-[para-(2-2-dihalocyclopropyl)phenoxy]-2-lower alkyl propionate which comprises treating an alkyl 2-[4-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenoxy]-2-lower alkyl propanoate (IV) with a phosphorus halide and then with an organic base to produce the corresponding substituted styrene and then treating said styrene with a haloform, a strong alkali and a phase transfer catalyst. This process has given overall yields ten-fold greater than those described in the literature.
