Reaction Steps

Aluminum trichloride (2.34 g, 17.6 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-chlorobenzoyl chloride in 60 mL of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then 2.87 g of the compound of Step B was added all at once and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. The cooled mixture was poured into water and the aqueous phase was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried with brine and magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give a red oil which was taken up in methanol and crystallized to give the title compound, 2.97 g (77%), m.p. 245°-246° C.
