Abstract

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.
