The syntheses of substituted tert-butyl β-(o-tolyl)-perpropionates via intermediates obtained by chloromethylation, malonic syntheses and decarboxylation is described. The intermediates substituted with a group possessing moderate substituent effect such as bromo, chloro, and methyl group were obtained in good yields. The nitro-substituted intermediate was obtained in poor yield. The chloromethylation of toluenes containing electron donating groups resulted in polymerization.
