phenylacetic acid and a-ethoxyphenylacetic acid. Lanchow University,

Abstract
Chlorination of styrene in the presence of Bz2O2 at 100-10° gave 12
chlorinated products, which on alk. hydrolysis in alc. gave PhCH2CO2H,
PhCH(OEt)CO2H and BzOH in 56-63, 7 and 0.6% yield, resp. Chlorination of
PhEt gave similar products, and esterification of the crude acidic
products gave 53.4% PhCH2CO2Et. [Reaction proceeds through dehydrohalogenation of a,b,b trichloroethylbenzene to phenylchloroacetylene]
