The two industrial or known reaetants III and IV
are reacted in a solvent which is particularly suitable for
earrying out a Friedel-Crafts reaction (carbon disulphide,

, nitromethane, compound IV itself). The eatalyst is a Lewis
acid seleeted from aluminium ehloride, tin tetrachloride,
titanium tetraehloride, boron trlfluoride and antimony penta-
fluoride. This matter eompound (SbF5) must definitely be used
to earry out the reaetion when one of the substituents Xl, X2

If one of the substituents Xl, X2 or X3 is NH2 or

b - Processes employing an organo-magnesium compound
These processes in fact utilise the property of
organo-magnesium compounds by which they give ketones when
reacted with a nitrile or acid chloride: ketones I will thus
be obtained; if the same organo-magnesium compound is reacted
not with a nitrile or acid chloride but with an aldehyde, an
alcohol of formula II is directly obtained.

bromine derivative thus protected with magnesium, in ether or

26 g (0.1 mole) of 2-[(para- bromo )-phenoxy]-2-
methyl-propionic acid is dissoved in 200 cc of anhydrous THF
and placed in a 500 cc flask. The mixture is cooled in an ice
~ bath and 0.2 mole of methylmagnesium iodide (prepared in
'! 10 solution of THF) is added slowly. After this addition, the
temperature is allowed to rise and the mixture stirred at
ambient temperature for 1 1/2 hours. Then slowly and drop by ~
drop a solution of 4.1 g (0.1 mole) of benzonitrile in 20 cc - -
of THF is added and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours 30 --
minutes at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture is poured
on to 500 cc of 10% hydrochloric acid, cooled by 500 g of ice,
and vigorously stirred. The reaction mixture is extracted with
ether and the ethereal phases are washed, dried and decolorised.
The ether solvent is evaporated under vacuum and the oily
residue placed in a desiccator under vacuum. 2-[(para-benzoyl)-

In this case the condensation is carried out at a
lower temperature (between -30C and +10C), care being taken
to see that the acid chloride is never in excess (it is the
acid chloride which will be added to the organo-magnesium
compound).
On the other hand, the use of a copper halide (Cusr,
- CuCl, CuI) which is reacted with Vi (mole per mole) before
adding the acid chloride very often gives better yields. The
preparation of VI is carried out as mentioned above.

of _-fluorobenzoyl chloride in 50 cc of THF is added drop by
drop over half-an-hour through a dropping funnel. The temp-
erature is then allowed to rise to 15 to 20C and the mixturepoured on to 500 cc of 10% HCl and 500 g of ice. After
extraction with ether, and washing, drying and decolorisation
of the ethereal phases, the solvent is evaporated under vacuum

EXAMPLE
Preparation of 2-(4-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-phenoxy)-2-methyl-
propionic acid
12 1 of anhydrous acetone, 1.395 kg (6 moles) of 4-
chloro-4-hydroxy-benzophenone and 1.44 kg (6 moles) of soda are
placed in a 20-litre flask; the reaction mixture is heated 1 to
` 2 hours under reflux to form the phenate, the source of heat is
removed, and a mixture of 2.16 kg of chloroform (18 moles)
diluted in 3.5 litres of acetone is then added.
The addition of the mixture is sufficient to maintain
reflux for at least 6 hours; after 4 hours (when one-quarter of
the mixture remains to be added) the exothermicity of the
reaction decreases, and heating is recommenced to maintain the
reflux for 6 to 8 hours after the end of the addition; the
mixture is allowed to cool and the sodium chloride which has
; precipitated is filtered off (the sodlum salt of the desired
acid is dissolved in the acetone); the acetone is evaporated
in vacuo and the residue is dissolved in the minimum amount of --`
lukewarm water (approximately 35C); this aqueous phase is
washed very carefully with dichloroethane (3 - 4 times) and is
then acidified to a pH-value of 1 by HCl while cooling, where-
upon the acid precipitates; the reaction mixture is shaken
vigorously, and after 30 minutes this acid is suction-dried,
washed with copious amounts of water and then dried.
Weight = 1.61 kg; m.p. - 182C; Yield : 85%
:~ This acid contains a few traces (3 to 4~) of unreacted
phenol, but since all the other impurities have been able to
be eliminated by means of this simple treatment it would be
quite pointless to carry out purification of this acid with
;~ 30 sodium bicarbonate (this is industrially very beneficial).
; To obtain the acid pure as such, it is recrystallised
` in toluene; m.p. = 185C.

Method Ac2 ~mploying Br - C - COY
(the bromine may be replaced by Cl or I) is particularly pre-
ferred when R = H or when one of the substituents X1, X2 or X3
of the group A is NO2 or CF3. This condensation is carried
out in ethyl alcohol or isobutyl methyl ketone in the presence
of K2CO3.
Non-limiting Example
Preparation of Ethyl 2-[4-(para-chlorobenzoyl)-phenoxy]-
propionate
0.75 mole (17S g) of 4'-chloro-4-hydroxy-benzo-
phenone, 1.5 1 of methylisobutylketone, 0.975 mole (134 g) of
K2CO3 and 0.8 mole (145 g) of ethyl 2-bromopropionate are
placed in a 2-litre flask. The mixture is heated at reflux
- for 8 hours with vigorous agitation whereupon the reaction
mixture is cooled and filtered on a Buchner funnel. The
solvent is then evaporated under vacuum and the residue distilled;
the desired ester is recovered at 198 to 201C under 0.1 mm of
mercury. Yield 190 g (76%).
The reaction (method Ac3) using 2-hydroxy-isobutyric
acid, invoIves a dehydration which can be carried out in solution
of DMF or toluene either (i) in an acid medium (H2S04, para-
toluene-sulphonic acid) or (ii) in an alkaline medium, with
. .
mechanism (i) being preferred. This method is derived from the
description of German Patent Application DOS No. P 2112 272 5.

` form, the following acid is obtained as an intermediate compound:

This is then converted to an amide or ester as the case may be.
The conversion of the acids of formula I into amides
and esters is given below in a general manner:
Conversion into amide or ester (tertiary alcohol, alcohol amide
,
or 3-pyridyl-methanol).
First the acid chloride is synthetised from the acid ~-
and phosphorus pentachloride until cold (0-5C). The acid
chloride is reacted with the amine or alcohol desired in the
presence of a tertiary amine (triethylamine or pyridine) to
neutralise the hydrochloric acid formed.

32 g (0.1 mole) of 2[4-(_-chlorobenzoyl)-phenoxy)-2-
methylpropionic acid is suspended in 250 cc of dry toluene, and
cooled in an ice bath. 20 g of phosphorous pentachloride is
-~ then added little by little. The reaction mixture is stirred
for 2 hours at this temperature and when everything has dissolved,
the toluene and the phosphorus oxychloride formed are evaporated
off. The solid residue, which has a melting point of 80C, is
recrystallised from hexane: it is the acid chloride. To purify
this crude material, it is re-dissolved in the minimum quantity -
of toluene and 0.1 mole of pyridine (8 g) and, slowly, 0.1 mole
(13 g) of 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-butyramide is added. The
reaction is completed by heating for 1 hour on a water bath at
50C. Then the mixture is allowed to cool and the pyridinium
hydrochloride filtered off. The filtered organic phase is
washed wlth water, dried and decolorised and the solvent is
evaporated off under vacuum. The desired ester crystallises.

Conversion into ester (using a secondary or primary alcohol)
Direct esterification is carried out, the ester-
ification process being one which has particularly been
investigated and adapted for use with a secondary alcohol.
Accordingly, this original process can be used in the case of
a primary alcohol with reaction kinetics which are definitely
faster; this method consists in carrying out esterification
with a relatively small amount of the chosen alcohol (1 to
1.5 litres of alcohol per 1 kg of acid of formula I and 0.6 kg
of sulphuric acid per 1 kg of acid of formula I).
EXAMPLE

Preparation of 2-(4-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-phenoxy)-2-methyl-
~pionic acid isopropyl ester
1 kg of the preceding acid is suspended in 1.5 1 of
isopropanol; 600 g of sulphuric acid is slowly added and the
reaction mixture is refluxed for 12 hours. The mixture is
allowed to cool, the ester crystallises, is carefully suction
dried, is washed with 1% concentration soda while shaking, is
suction dried again, and is recrystallised in 1.5 1 of iso-
propanol in the presence of animal charcoal; the product which ~,
recrystallises is pure :
Weight = 1.020 kg ; m.p. - 80C ; Yield : 85%
Transformation into ester (with an amino alcohol or alcohol
amide)
The reaction may of course be carried out with the
acid chloride, but the preferred method is a transesterification
starting from a simple ester (methyl ester for example) and the
chosen aminoalcohol or alcohol amide. The catalyst may be
sodium, a metal isopropylate (titanium isopropylate being
preferred) or APTS.
