Polymer Supported Reagents: Use of Anion Exchange Resin in the Synthesis of Aryloxy Acetic Acids

Abstract

Abstract Phenoxides supported on Amberlite IRA 400 on reaction with sodium salt of chloroacetic acid gave corresponding aryloxy acetic acid in high yields. Interestingly nitrophenols, 4-hydroxy coumarin and p-hydroxy ethylbenzoate gave excellent yields of the product.
