1.2 mmol of acid is placed in 1 mL of water in a test tube and carefully neutralized with 10%
NaOH solution. Then, a tiny amount of additional acid is added to make the solution just acidic to
pH paper. Then add 2 mL of 95% ethanol and 0.8 mmol of the p-nitrobenzyl chloride(PNBC)/p-
bromophenacyl bromide(PBPB). Reflux the mixture for about one hour (for pNBC) or 30-40 min
(for pBPB) and add small amounts of 95% ethanol if a solid separates during reflux. Allow the
hot solution to cool to room temperature and the derivative to crystallize. The liquid can be
removed from the crystals by using a pipette. The solid ester should be recrystallized using a
minimal amount of 95% ethanol in the same reaction tube.
