Versuchsvorschrift
Add slowly isovaleryl chloride (3.0 g, 24.88 mmol) to an ice-cold stirred solution of aluminum trichloride (4.976 g, 37.32 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (60 mL). Stir the reaction mixture at ambient temperature overnight. Add slowly ice-cold water and extract the mixture twice with EtOAc. Dry the combined organic extracts over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate in vacuo to give the desired intermediate (4.38 g, 100%) that was used without any further purification. GC-MS m/z: 176 (M+).
