Abstract

New process that can selectively prepare α,α-dichloro ketones from various ketones with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) using ammonium chloride as a catalyst is reported. The effects of ammonium salts, solvents, DCDMH, and reaction temperature were investigated. Under the optimal condition, most of α,α-dichlorinated products were selectively obtained in 86–98% yield.
