Abstract

Various substituted benzal chlorides are converted into alkyl phenylacetates ($ArCH_2COOR$) under CO atmosphere on reaction with a catalytic amount of Fe(CO)$_5$, a base, and an alcohol. The optimum conditions are found as atmospheric pressure of CO, 40$^{\circ}C$, potassium hydroxide as base, and medium of alcohol.
