Solid sodium hydroxide - THF, convenient system for synthesis esters of glycidic acids by darzens condensation

Isopropyl- and tert-butylchloroacetate react with carbonyl compounds in the presence of powdered sodium hydroxide in THF, without a catalyst, giving substituted glycidates. The process is applied for preparation of glycidates from ketones, hitherto unavailable by phase-transfer catalyzed Darzens condensation.
