Summary
TheDarzens reaction of dichloroacetophenone (DCAP) with substituted benzaldehydes has been studied. The structure of the products was shown to depend on the phenyl group substituents. Reaction of benzaldehyde, 4-bromo-, and 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehydes results in 1-phenyl-3-aryl-3-chloropropane-1,2-diones (2a–c), reaction ofpara- ormeta-nitrobenzaldehydes yields 1-phenyl-2-chloro-3-aryl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-ones (3a, b). Upon the introduction of an alkoxy group into the phenyl ring of benzaldexyde and/or dichloroacetophenone, symmetrically substituted dioxines were obtained (6a–c). The structure of the reaction products has been established by single crystal X-ray investigations.

DieDarzens-Reaction von Dichloracetophenon (DCAP) mit substituierten Benzaldehyden wurde untersucht. Die Struktur der Produkte ist von den Substituenten an der Phenylgruppe abhängig. Die Umsetzung mit Benzaldehyd, 4-Brom- und 2,4-Dichlorbenzaldehyd liefert 1-Phenyl-3-aryl-3-chloropropan-1,2-dione (2a–c), die Reaktion vonpara- odermeta-Nitrobenzaldehyd 1-Phenyl-2-chloro-3-aryl-2,3-epoxipropan-1-one (3a,b). Durch Einführung einer Alkoxygruppe in den Phenylring des Benzaldehyds und/oder des Dichloracetophenons erhält man symmetrisch substituierte Dioxine (6a–c). Die Struktur der Reaktionsprodukte wurde mittels Röntgenstrukturanalyse bestätigt.
