Abstract
A newly developed chlorinating reagent (N,N-diisopropylformamide-POCl3 complex) and metal halide (ZnCl2) synergistic reaction system was reported for the efficient chlorination of polysubstituted 1-tetralones. This protocol facilitates the reaction to proceed under mild conditions with this in situ formed Vilsmeier reagent, and a broad substrate scope could be compatible. 28 examples were successfully converted to the corresponding chlorodihydronaphthalenes in moderate to good yields, meanwhile significantly suppressing the formation of halogenated enal byproducts. The simplicity, high efficiency and wide substrate compatibility enable this new method to be a promising alternative for the synthesis of halogenated aryl olefins and drug molecules.
