Trimethylenecarbonyl fragment is a structural base of many biologically active compounds [1, 2]. A convenient synthon for introducing this fragment is γ-chlorobutyryl chloride. It was previously established [3, 4] that alkoxybenzenes acylation with γ-chlorobutyryl chloride led to the formation of heterocyclic compounds. In this study we investigated the acylation of N- ethylaniline with γ-chlorobutyryl chloride that proceeded with the formation of the ...
