Procedure

Slowly add 8.1 g (60.7 mmol) of aluminium chloride to a solution of 2.85 g (36.3 mmol) of acetyl chloride and 5 g (24.7 mmol) of ethyl 1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylate in 120 cm3 of carbon disulfide at 0° C. Stir for 4 hours at room temperature and then, after acid hydrolysis with 20 cm3 of 2N hydrochloric acid, extract the reaction mixture with methylene chloride. After drying the methylene chloride phase over magnesium sulfate, concentrating to dryness and washing with ethanol, ethyl 6-acetyl-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylate is obtained in a yield of 95%.
