Procedure

10 g of anhydrous aluminum chloride were added to 291 g (3 mol) of 1,1-dichloroethene at -20° C., and thereafter 133 g (1 mol) of 1-ethyl-cyclopentyl chloride (Chem. Abstr. 42, 6,328 (1948)) were added dropwise at 0° to 10° C. The reaction solution was allowed to warm up to 20° C., a further 5 g of aluminum chloride were added, and stirring was continued for a further 2 hours at 20° C. The mixture was poured onto ice, and was worked up with methylene chloride and dilute hydrochloric acid. 158 g (82% of theory) of 1-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-1-ethylcyclopentane of boiling point 45° to 50° C./0.1 mm Hg were obtained by fractional distillation of the organic phase after it had been dried over sodium sulphate. ##STR20##
