4-nitrophenol + 2-chloro-propanoic acid = ? [1], maybe a 4-nitrophenyl-2-chloropropanoate ester, it's correct?

And if [1] + thionyl chloride = ? [2]

If [2] + ethylene glycol = ? [3]

If [3] + methylisocianate = ? [4]

Please!
Thanks in advance.

I think you should perhaps re-think the very first reaction, there is something else that could happen.

It would help if you supplied some reaction conditions for the first step.

Hi there,

 

depending on reaction conditions:

 

1. basic...end up with a ether resulting from SN2 substitution of chlorine

 

2.acidic...the desired ester (suggesting azeotropic esterification)

 

regards
