slightly yellow crystalline powder or chunks
5′-Chloro-2′-hydroxyacetophenone (5-chloro-2- hydroxyacetophenone) may be used in the synthesis of:
- 6-chloro-2-methyl-4H-chrome-4-one
- 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadien-1-ones
- 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadien-1-ones
- 2-styrenyl allyl ether
Preparation by Fries rearrangement of 4-chlorophenyl acetate with aluminium chloride without solvent between 110° and 200°(90–100% yield).
5′-Chloro-2′-hydroxyacetophenone (5-chloro-2- hydroxyacetophenone) on condensation with salicylhydrazide yields Schiff base, which is reported to form copper(II) complexes. Dipole moment of 5-chloro-2- hydroxyacetophenone has been evaluated in benzene solution.
