Organic Reactions in Water: Synthesis of Phenacyl Esters from Phenacyl Bromide and Potassium Salts of Aromatic Acids in the Presence of β??Cyclodextrin
The synthesis of phenacyl esters has many advantages in organic chemistry because they are usually solids and provide a useful means of characterizing acids and phenols. The classical synthesis of phenacyl esters consists of treating the sodium or potassium salts of acids with α??bromoacetophenones,11. Shriner , RL , Fuson , RC and Curtin , DY 1964.
