Reaction Steps

Anisole (1 mmol) was treated with sodium chloride (1.2 mmol) in acetonitrile: water (2:1, 6 ml). 20% Sulfuric acid (5 ml) and sodium periodate (20 mol %) was added to reaction mixture. The mixture was heated at 80° C. under inert atmosphere for 4 h. The product was purified by column chromatography to give 4-chloroanosole (25%) and 2-chloroanisole (2%).
