To a mixture of 99.2 g (0.5 mole) of thioxanthene, 158.5 g (1.25 mole) of 3-chloropropionyl chloride, and 3 liters of previously dried methylene chloride, chilled to -20° C., is slowly added 146.7 g (1.1 mole) of aluminum chloride over a 30 minute period while maintaining the temperature at below -10° C. Following the addition of aluminum chloride the reaction mixture is slowly permitted to rise to room temperature and then refluxed for an additional 4 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and decomposed by cautiously pouring into 2 liters of an ice-water mixture. The liquid layers are separated and the aqueous layer re-extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers are evaporated to a small volume and cooled. The desired 2,7-bis(3-chloropropionyl)thioxanthene which separates on standing is recrystallized from acetone to yield the desired product having a m.p. of 175°-7° C.
