Conditions

Temperature
120 °C

Procedure

24 g (0.18 mole) of powdered aluminium trichloride were carefully added to 31 g (0.16 mole) of phenyl hexanoate and the mixture was slowly heated with occassional stirring to 120° C and was held there for 11/2 hours. The residue was ground into a powder and was poured into iced dilute hydrochloric acid with stirring. The mixture was extracted with ether and the ether extracts were washed with dilute sodium hydroxide solution, then with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to obtain 14.2 g of (1-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-hexan-1-one as a pale yellow oil. IR spectrum showed o-hydroxyphenylcarbonyl at 1650cm-1.
