Procedure

Aluminum trichloride (7.9 g, 0.060 mol) was added in portions to a mixture of methyl 1-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate (3.5 g, 0.020 mol) and chloroacetyl chloride (2.0 mL, 0.026 mol) in carbon disulfide (40 mL, 0.7 mol) at 15-25° C. and then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was poured into conc. HCl (10 mL) in ice (100 g) and then extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The product was purified by CombiFlash using hexane/EtOAc (max. EA 20%). The final product was analyzed by 1H NMR, which showed that the product was a mixture of para and meta substituted isomers with a ratio of 3:2.
