4-Chloro-1-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)Butan-1-One

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 255 g (1.81 mols) of 4-chlorobutyryl chloride are added dropwise to a mixture of 200 g (1.75 mols) of 1,3-difluorobenzene and 256 g (1.92 mols) of anhydrous aluminum chloride at room temperature, while stirring. The mixture is stirred at 30° C. for 4 hours and then poured onto 1,200 g of ice. 1,200 ml of methylene chloride are added, the organic phase is separated off, the aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic phases are washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure. The residue which remains is distilled. 326 g (85% of theory) of 2,4-difluorophenyl 3-chloropropyl ketone are obtained in this manner. The mixture is stirred at 30° C. for 4 hours the organic phase is separated off the aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride the combined organic phases are washed with water dried over sodium sulphate concentrated The residue which remains is distilled
