Abstract
Abstract 2-(Chloromethoxy) ethyl acetate reacts with alcohols in the presence of silver carbonate to produce 2-(alkoxymethoxy) ethyl acetates and bis (alkoxy) methanes. A mechanism which involves neighbouring group participation of a chloromethyl ether oxygen atom is proposed to account for the formation of the latter products.
