Abstract
A method for preparing 2-acetamidoethyl (3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)(4-chlorophenyl)acetate which comprises treating (3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)(4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile with 2-acetamidoethanol in the presence of an acid to form an imino intermediate which, upon treatment with an aqueous solution, affords the desired product. 2-Acetamidoethyl (3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)(4-chlorophenyl)acetate is a hypocholesterolemic and hypolipemic agent which effectively reduces the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids in blood serum.
