HYDROCHLORINATION OF 2,3-ACETYLENIC ACIDS WITH THIONYL CHLORIDE IN DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE
Abstract:
ABSTRACT The reaction of 2,3-acetylenic acids (1a–d) with thionyl chloride in DMF under mild conditions gave E,Z-3-chloro-2-alkenoic acids (2a–d) or esters (3a–d) depending on treating the reaction mixture with either water or alcohols.
