N-Butyl benzoate

The following liquids may be used (boiling points are given in parentheses) — chlorobenzene (132-3°) bromobenzene (155°) p cymene (176°) o-dichloro-benzene (180°) aniline (184°) methyl benzoate (200°) teti-alin (207°) ethyl benzoate (212°) 1 2 4-trichlorobenzene (213°) iaopropyl benzoate (218°) methyl salicylate (223°) n-propyl benzoate (231°) diethyleneglycol (244°) n-butyl benzoate (250°) diphenyl (255°) diphenyl ether (259°) dimethyl phth ate (282°) diethyl phthalate (296°) diphenylamine (302°) benzophenone (305)° benzyl benzoate (316°). 

Amides such as DMF or ureas such as N,N-tetramethylurea react with bis(trimethylsilyl)selenide 604 in the presence of BF3-OEt2 to give selenoamides, for example 617, or selenoureas whereas esters such as n-butyl benzoate react with 604 in the presence of Bp3-Et20 and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene to give 619 via 618 [157]. On heating with P4Sio/sulfur and hexamethyldisiloxane 7 y9-ketoesters such as ethyl acetoacetate are converted to 3H-l,2-dithiole-3-thiones such as 620 in high yields [158] (Scheme 5.51 cf. also Section 8.6). 

An equimolar (10 mmol) mixture of benzoyl chloride and n-butyl oxide adsorbed on 5 g graphite A was sequentially irradiated with 90 W incident power. The conversion reached 80% (Yield of isolated n-butyl benzoate (69) 62%). With ethyl oxide, the yield of ethyl benzoate (68) was lower, but noteworthy considering the volatility of this oxide, and the significant retentive power of graphite towards organic compounds. These preliminary results have not yet been expanded, but it is certain that more reactive ethers, like those substituted with sec- or teri-alkyl, benzylic or allylic groups, are deavable in the same way.
