Tetrahydrofuran was converted to 2,2,4-trichlorobutanal (1) in 60-73percent overall yield by isomerisation of intermediate 2,3,3-trichlorotetrahydrofuran (2) in the presence of 4-6percent (w:w) of aluminium trichloride at 100-140 deg C for 40-60 min.Zinc chloride and titanium tetrachloride were less effective as catalysts, while hydrogen chloride and paratoluenesulfonic acid were ineffective.
