Abstract

Abstract A method is described for the synthesis of α, α-dichloroaldehydes, free from monochloroaldehyde, by chlorination of aldehydes or alcohols in dimethylformamide at 40– 90 C. Results are reported for:(yield%) propanal (90), butanal (78), pentanal (78), 3- methylbutanal (90), propanol (64), butanol (78), 3-methylbutanol (52), pentanol (66), 3, 3- dimethylbutanol (86), hexanol (66), 2-phenylethanol (51), 3-phenylpropanol (54), 1, 5- ...
