Uses
5′-Chloro-2′-hydroxy-4′-methylacetophenone (5-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-methylacetophenone) may be used in the preparation of the following:
- chalcones, required for the synthesis of novel pyrazoline derivatives
- 5′-chloro-2′-hydroxy-4′-methyl-3-(2′′-thienyl)acrylophenone
- 6-chloro-3-hydroxy-7-methyl-2-(2-thienyl)-4H-chromen-4-one, a complexing agent used for the spectrophotometric determination of vanadium(V)
Preparation
Preparation by reaction of acetic acid on 4-chloro-3- methylphenol with boron trifluoride at 70–100° (80–85%).
General Description
5′-chloro-2′-hydroxy-4′-methylacetophenone (5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-4-methylacetophenone) is a hydroxylated aromatic acetophenone. Its iodination by pyridinium iodochloride has been reported to afford 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-iodo-4-methylacetophenone.
