Knumbnuts Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think you should perhaps re-think the very first reaction, there is something else that could happen. It would help if you supplied some reaction conditions for the first step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.alchemist Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi there, depending on reaction conditions: 1. basic...end up with a ether resulting from SN2 substitution of chlorine 2.acidic...the desired ester (suggesting azeotropic esterification) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
