Dimethyl 4,5-dichlorophthalate

While endeavoring to synthesize new chlorinated ligands for ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts, the title compound dimethyl 4,5-dichlorophthalate, C10H8Cl2O4, was prepared from commercially available 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid in ∼77% yield. The title molecule, which also finds utility as a precurs...
