  • Diphenyl succinate (CAS NO.: ), with other names like , diphenyl ester, could be produced through the following synthetic methods.

    Prepartion of Diphenyl succinate

    A mixture of 118 g. (1 mole) of succinic acid, 188 g. (2 moles) of phenol, and 138 g. (83 ml., 0.9 mole) of phosphorus oxychloride is placed in a 2-l. round-bottomed flask fitted with an efficient reflux condenser capped with a calcium chloride tube. The mixture is heated on a steam bath in a hood for 1.25 hours, 500 ml. of benzene is added, and the refluxing is continued for an additional hour. The hot benzene solution is decanted from the red syrupy residue of phosphoric acid and filtered by gravity into a 1-l. Erlenmeyer flask. The syrupy residue is extracted with two 100-ml. portions of hot benzene, which are also filtered into the Erlenmeyer flask. The combined benzene solutions are concentrated to a volume of about 600 ml., and the pale yellow solution is allowed to cool, whereupon the diphenyl succinate separates as colorless crystals. It is filtered with suction on a Büchner funnel, washed with three 50-ml. portions of ether, and dried on a porous plate at 40°. The yield of diphenyl succinate, m.p. 120–121°, is 167–181 g. (62–67%).
