Thionyl Chloride → trans-3-[2-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropenyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-cis/trans-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (0.4 g) and thionyl chloride (5.0 ml) was heated at the reflux temperature for a period of 2 hours, after which the excess thionyl chloride was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, leaving (±)-cis/trans-1-chlorocarbonyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane.
