Purohit, D. M. published the artcileSynthesis of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(2′,4′-dichloro-5′-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(carboxyaryl/carboxymethoxyaryl)ethanes as possible antimicrobial agents, Recommanded Product: 2,2-(1,2-Phenylenebis(oxy))diacetic acid, the publication is Indian Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry (1999), 8(3), 209-212, database is CAplus.
The title compounds I (R = HO2C, HO2CCH:CH, HO2CCH2, HO2CCH2O; R1 = H, HO2C, Me, Cl, MeO, NO2, HO2CCH2O) were prepared by reaction of 2,4-Cl2C6H3OCH2CO2H with chloral hydrate in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 to afford the (trichloroethyl)phenoxyacetic acid II. II reacted with RR1C6H4 in the presence of a catalytic amount of concentrated H2SO4 to give I. All products were screened for antimicrobial activity. The mol. structures of the products were supported by IR, PMR, and mass spectroscopy and elemental anal.
