Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalylchloride (1.0 ml, 0.011 mmol) is added to a solution of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) (1.7 ml, 0.022 mol) in methylenechloride (20 ml) at −60° C. 1-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-butan-2-ol (2.0 g, 0.01 mol) is added in one portion. After 15 minutes triethylamine (7 ml, 0.05 mol) is added and the reaction temperature is allowed to warm up and reach 0° C. The mixture is diluted with diethylether and washed repeatedly with brine. The organic phase is dried, filtered evaporated to give the 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-butane-2-one.
