Procedure

42.6 g (0.291 mol) of cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride and then 30 g (0.277 mol) of anisole are added dropwise at room temperature to a suspension of 44.4 g (0.33 mol) of aluminium chloride in 120 ml of dichloroethane. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 h and allowed to stand overnight. For working up, the mixture is poured into ice-water and the aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is washed with 1N NaOH and water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo.
