Water → 5-(2,2-Dichloroethenyl)-2-thienylethanone

Temperature

10 °C

Under a dry argon atmosphere, a stirred solution of 3.0 g (0.017 mole) of 2-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)thiophene and 1.33 g (0.017 mole) of acetyl chloride in 10 ml of methylene chloride was cooled to -20° C. During a five minute period 2.24 g (0.017 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride was added. The reaction mixture was warmed to 10° C., then poured into 250 ml of cold water. The resultant mixture was extracted with two 100 ml portions of diethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with 30 ml of a dilute sodium carbonate solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was evaporated to give a brown solid. The solid was dissolved in a small amount of toluene and subjected to column chromatography on 100 g of silica gel using n-heptane followed by a solution of 10% ethylacetate in n-heptane as eluant. A white solid was obtained and recrystallized from n-heptane to give 2.5 g of crude product. A sample of the crude product was sublimed at 90° C./7 pa to yield 5-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2-thienylethanone; mp 81°-85° C. The nmr and ir spectra were consistent with the proposed structure.
