The Reaction of Olefins with Chloroalkoxyalkanes and Formic Acid in Ether

The reaction of olefins with chloromethoxymethane (CMM) and excess formic acid in ether, in the presence of ZnCl2 or HgCl2, affored mainly four products, 1-chloro- and 1-formyloxy-2-(formyloxymethyl)alkanes, and 3,5-dialkyl-4-chloro- and 3,5-dialkyl-4-(formyloxy)tetrahydropyrans, in various yields.In the case of styrene, the chief products were limited to the former two.Similar products were obtained from 1-chloro-1-ethoxyethane(CEE), but their yields were quite low.

METHOD OF CONVERTING ALCOHOL TO HALIDE

The present invention relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding halide. This method comprises reacting the alcohol with an optionally substituted aromatic carboxylic acid halide in presence of an N-substituted formamide to replace a hydroxyl group of the alcohol by a halogen atom. The present invention also relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding substitution product. The second method comprises: (a) performing the method of the invention of converting an alcohol into the corresponding halide; and (b) reacting the corresponding halide with a nucleophile to convert the halide into the nucleophilic substitution product.
