General Description

2-Chloroethyl Benzoate, also known as benzyl chloroethyl ether, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H9ClO2. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a fruity odor, and is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other organic compounds. It is classified as a chloroethyl ester, containing a chlorine atom and an ethyl group attached to a benzoate moiety. Its chemical properties make it useful for various chemical reactions and as a building block in organic synthesis. However, it should be handled with caution as it is a potential irritant and may cause harmful effects if ingested or inhaled.

Recycling polymers: In the present study, the efficient zinc-catalyzed depolymerization of a variety of artificial polyethers has been investigated. Chloroesters were obtained as the depolymerization products, which are suitable precursors for new polymer

Synthesis of Esters from Stable and Convenient Sulfoxonium Precursors under Catalyst- And Additive-Free Conditions

A convenient and efficient procedure for the construction of esters from stable sulfoxonium ylides and alcohols has been developed. This protocol presents a broad substrate scope and good yields of the desired esters can be isolated. Notably, no catalyst, oxidant, base or any other additive is required.

A Three-Phase Four-Component Coupling Reaction: Selective Synthesis of o-Chloro Benzoates by KCl, Arynes, CO2, and Chloroalkanes

A transition-metal-free three-phase four-component coupling reaction (3P-4CR) involving KCl, arynes, chloroalkanes and CO2 has been reported for the first time, enabling the incorporation of both chloro and CO2 into an aryne simultaneously. The reactions for the synthesis of different types of o-chloro benzoates can be selectively modulated by the chloroalkane utilized. The corresponding products can be alternatively transformed for postsynthetic functionalizations conveniently.
