Sulfuryl chloride → HCID 53707812, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sulfuryl chloride (39.26 g.) was added to a solution of ethyl 2-(4-chlorobenzyloxyimino)-3-oxobutyrate (syn isomer, 75.03 g.), in acetic acid (75 ml.), and then stirred at 37° to 40° C. for 8 hours. After air was bubbled into the reaction mixture, the mixture was added to ice water. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, and the extract was washed with sodium bicarbonate saturated aqueous solution and sodium chloride saturated aqueous solution in turn. The solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give ethyl 4-chloro-2-(4-chlorobenzyloxyimino)-3-oxobutyrate (syn isomer, 77.23 g.).
