Palotash, L. published the artcileProduction and properties of several aryloxycarboxylic acids, Application of 2-(4-(tert-Butyl)phenoxy)acetic acid, the publication is Nauch.-Tekh. Konf., Moskov. Neftekhim. i Gaz. Prom. Inst., 11-ya[Odinnadtsataya]i 12-ya[Dvenadtsataya] (1958), 205-14, database is CAplus.
In the search for dicarboxylic acids (like terephthalic acid) to use in the production of synthetic fibers, o-C6H4(CO2H)OCH2CO2H was prepared Salicylic acid (10 g.) was treated with 35 g. 33.3% NaOH. After addition of 25 g. ClCH2CO2H (50% solution), the mixture was heated 2 hrs. on a water bath, cooled, neutralized with dilute HCl (1:1), extracted with Et2O, and the product precipitated with soda. Acidification of the Na salt yielded 60% white needles, m. 151¡ã (H2O). Me2C(C6H4OCH2CO2H-4)2, m. 165¡ã, was also prepared
