Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled mixture of 28.4 parts of 2-chloro-m-toluoyl chloride, 12.6 parts of thiophene and 80 parts of methylene chloride is added dropwise a mixture of 39 parts of stannic chloride in 40 parts of methylene chloride at 10° C. Upon completion, stirring is continued first for 2 hours a 20° C and further for 3 hours at reflux. The reaction mixture is poured onto a mixture of ice-water and concentrated hydrochloric acid solution. The methylene chloride solution is separated, washed three times with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is distilled, yielding 2-chloro-m-tolyl 2-thienyl ketone; bp. 197° -199° C at 12 mm. pressure.
