Abstract
The reactions of trichloromethanesulfonyl chloride with trimethylsilyl enol ethers of acetophenones in the presence of a ruthenium(II) phosphine complex gave 1-aryl-3,3-dichloropropen-1-one together with α-chloroacetophenones. The product ratio depended on the substituent on the aromatic ring of the silyl enol ether. The reactions of carbon tetrachloride with the silyl enol ethers under similar conditions afforded 1-aryl-3,3-dichloropropen-1-one in good yield.
