Acetyl chloride → HCID 20077196, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Added to 160 ml of methylene chloride were 52.9 g (0.388 mol) of anhydrous aluminum chloride. While chilling with ice water, a solution of 25.03 g (0.132 mol) of methyl (indan-2-yl)acetate in 40 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise to the solution, followed by the addition of 13.1 ml (0.185 mol) of acetyl chloride. After stirring the mixture at the same temperature for 40 minutes, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water to take out an organic layer separated. After the organic layer was washed with water and dried, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane=1:2), thereby obtaining 27.8 g of an oily substance. Yield: 91%.
