Abstract

Refomatsky reaction.12 This reaction has also been performed with Rieke zinc but the yields of the reaction are moderate to very low13 to be of any utility on a preparative scale. The utility of -chloroester to participate in the Reformatsky reaction seems almost non-existent inspite of its ready availability, stability cost-effectiveness as well as its less hazardous nature as compared to the corresponding bromoesters. ... We now report the condensation of -chloroesters ...
