Sulfuryl chloride → HCID 18551888, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-1-(1-naphthalenyl)-1-propanone (30.0 g, 0.15 mole) was dissolved in heptane (10 ml), and sulfuryl chloride (30 g, 0.22 mole) was added at once. After about 5 min gas evolution occurred. After 3 h of stirring at room temperature the reaction mixture was concentrated. The concentrate was dissolved in heptane (200 ml) and washed with 150 ml of a 2 wt % aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying over magnesium sulfate the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The yield of 2-chloro-2-methyl-1-(1-naphthalenyl)-1-propanone was 34.5 g or 98%.
