mono-Chloroacetic acid synthesis

<< < (2/2)

demorol:
SWIM has successfully performed this synthesis, but the only problem is he forgot to calculate the yield. But the synth works.
Life without chemistry would be a mistake.

megalomania:
This procedure is detailed in the book “The practical methods of organic chemistry” (English translation) by Ludwig Gattermann in 1903.  I have adapted the procedure from the book on my website here:

Rhodium:
Mega: Don't you have the different synthetic procedures referenced on your site?

Organikum:
From the Ullmann:

Benzalchloride and acetic acid plus tin(II) or tin(IV)chloride yields benzaldehyde and chloroacetic acid.
Patent US3691217

Patents referenced in the Ullmann actually work as I learned.
