Conclusions The use of reduced pressure to remove the HCl formed in the reaction of acid chlorides with alcohols and acids appears to be generally applicable to reactants of low volatility. The lowest yield of recrystallized product obtained was 85.0%, and in most cases tested the yield was more than 90%. Any side reactions occurring are apparently minor as a single crystallization gave products of high purity.
