Oxalyl chloride → HCID 13923222, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

420 ml of oxalyl chloride were added at 0° to 5° C. to 141.2 g (0.5 mol) of 2-butyryl-3-hydroxy-5-(tetrahydrothiopyran-3-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and concentrated. The oil obtained was treated with methyl tert.-butyl ether, and the resulting solid was filtered off with suction and dried. This gave 125.9 g (84% yield) of 2-butyryl-3-chloro-5-(tetrahydrothiopyran-3-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one having a melting point of 97° C. (decomposition) (compound no. 312).
