Reaction Steps

2-diazo-1-(furan-2-yl)ethanone (900 mg, 6.61 mmol) and 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione (846 mg, 10.05 mmol) were combined in dry benzene (10 ml) and refluxed vigorously for 6 hours. The solvent was evaporated to dryness, and the resulting crude material was subjected to column chromatography using 100-200 mesh range silica gel and an ethyl acetate/hexane solvent system. The crude material was a mixture of two compounds, which were separated by column chromatography. Crystallization from acetone yielded furan-2-yl(4,5,6,7-tetrachlorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-yl)methanone as a yellow solid (200 mg, 16.4%).
