Abstract

Reactions of chlorine gas on six aromatic acetals, the benzaldehyde di‐n‐alkyl acetals, C6H4‐CH(OR)2 where R=ethyl (1a), n‐propyl (2a), n‐butyl (3a), isobutyl (4a), n‐amyl (5a) and isoamyl (6a) were studied. The products were analyzed by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques and were found to be ring chlorinated alkyl benzoates. A plausible mechanism has been proposed based on the experimental observations and the effect of the alkyl groups on the product yield.
