In this research, the organic reaction of phenyl acetic acid and some Hydroxylated Derivatives in the absence of organic solvents to obtain phenyl acetic acid esters have been synthesized. The optimum reaction conditions were determined to produce phenyl acetic acid esters. The optimal condition (catalysts, temperature and solvents) to get a high selective compounds and high yields have been studied. When use of heterogeneous catalyst (Amberlyst-15) (10%mol), extra amount of reacted alcohol as a solvent and 110°C getting a required selectivity and high yield (about 80%) in comparison to the homogeneous catalysts (H2SO4, PTSA, CH3SO3H), in addition to the low selectivity of the final product. The reaction followed by using thin layer chromatography (T. L. C), the molecular structures have determinate by spectroscopy methods: FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR.
