The title compounds (3) have been prepared and their chemical properties studied.With iodine they give aryloxymethyl aryloxyacetates (4) through the intermediacy of aryloxyacetyl hypoiodites and α-iodoanisoles.The former are unstable but have been trapped with pyridine to give N-iodopyridinium aryloxyacetates, whereas the latter are stable and react independently with compounds (3) to afford the acetates (4).The termolysis of (3) has been studied and, besides esters (4), aryl aryloxyacetates are also formed.The mechanism of the thermolysis is briefly discussed.

Homolytic decarboxylation of a series of alkoxyacetic acids has furnished alkoxyalkyl alkoxyacetates when no substituents were present at the 2-position.Electron donating and withdrawing 2-substituents, with the exception of trichloromethyl, afforded products due to fragmentation of the alkoxyacetic acids.The reaction pathway is rationalised on the basis of the reactivity of the alkoxyalkyl iodide intermediates.
