Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(3',5'-dichlorophenyl)-5-iodomethylene-4,4-dimethyloxazolinium iodide (5.0 gm, 0.0098 m) was disolved in methanol (200 ml) and N-chlorosuccinimide (3.3 gm, 0.025 m) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 1 hour, then diluted with enough water to obtain a cloudy solution and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was further diluted with water, then filtered and the solid obtained was dried and recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane to yield 3.8 gm of the desired product.
