Abstract

The esters were soluble in ethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, benzene and dibutforyl oxide. The esters were found slightly soluble in water, 50% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium bicarbonate and concentrated sulfuric acid, after standing a period of two weeks. With 10% sodium hydroxide they underwent saponification. The solubility and rate of saponification decreased proportionally from phenyl trifluoroacetate to phenyl caproforate.
