Reaction Steps

50 g. (0.246 moles) of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-pentene are admixed with 30.1 g. (0.295 moles) of acetic anhydride. To the mixture 2.5g. (0.025 moles) of concentrated sulfuric acid are added in 10 minutes and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes. 1,1,1-trichloro-2-acetoxy-4-methyl-4-pentene is obtained as shown by thin layer chromatography (Merck Art.
