Procedure
20 mL (112 mmol) of ethyl diethoxyacetate, 16 mL (224 mmol) of acetyl chloride and 60 mg (0.2 mmol) of iodine are placed in a round-bottomed flask and heated at 50° C. for 24 hours. The reaction progress is monitored by NMR. The excess acetyl chloride is removed by evaporation under vacuum. 19 g (100%) of ethyl chloroethoxyacetate are obtained in the form of a liquid colored brown by the residual iodine.
