Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixtures of 357 g of thionyl chloride and 150 ml of chloroform is placed in a 1 liter flask and cooled to 10° C. At 10° to 15° C. and over a period of 35 minutes, a solution of 238 g of 2,3-dichloro-4-hydroxymethylthiophene in 350 ml of chloroform is added. After the exothermic reaction has subsided, the solution is stirred for 1 hour at 30° C., concentrated under reduced pressure and, after a small amount of triethylamine has been added, purified by distillation at 66° to 69° C./0.2 mbar. The yield is 192 g, equivalent to 70% of theory.
