B. Ferron et al., IPSO-CHLORINATION OF 4-ALKYLPHENOLS ETHERS A NOVEL ROUTE TO 4-CHLOROCYCLOHEXA-2,5-DIENONES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(18), 1993, pp. 2949-2952
Selective chlorination of 4-alkylphenols ethers with SbF5/CH2Cl2 (CHCl
3, CCl4) yields 4-chlorocyclohexa -2,5-dienones; no alpha-chlorination
to a carbonyl group is observed in the reaction conditions.
