Unanticipated participation of HCl in nucleophilic chlorination reaction: expedient route to meta chlorophenols
摘要:
o-Quinone monoketals participated in a 1,4-addition reaction with HCl furnishing m-chlorophenols in high yields. Several readily available o-quinone monoketals were selected to display the generality of this serendipitous and unprecedented reaction and the results are presented herein. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
