Reaction Steps

A mixture of 61 g (0.5 mol) of phenetole and 105 g (0.5 mol) of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloro-3-methyl-butane is added slowly with stirring at 0° C. to a suspension of 66.5 g (0.5 mol) of AlCl3 in 100 ml of dichloromethane. After stirring for 4 hours, 1,000 ml of water are added to the reaction mixture with ice-cooling. The mixture is extracted several times with dichloromethane and, after drying, the combined extracts are worked up by distillation. 30 g (=20% of theory) of 1,1,1-trichloro-3-p-ethoxyphenyl-3methyl-butane (b.p.: 145°-150° C./0.1 mbar) are obtained in addition to unreacted starting material.
