Zinc powder (10.6 g, 160 mmol) was given to an ice-cold solution of methanol (40 mL) saturated with ammonium chloride. With vigorous magnetic stirring in an ice-bath, tetrachloroketone 1[1] (4.45 g, 10 mmol) was added in small portions (exothermic reaction, the mixture should not be allowed to boil!). Then the ice-bath was removed, and the mixture was allowed to come up to room temperature with continuous stirring. Finally, the mixture was refluxed. A TLC showed that after 1 h the starting material 1 had disappeared. Unreacted zinc powder and inorganic salts were removed by suction and washed with methanol (50 mL). To the combined filtrates, 100 mL of a 0.6 molar solution of EDTA disodium salt (110 g in 500 mL water with 10 g NaOH) was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and extracted with tert-butylmethyl ether (9 ´ 20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with saturated brine (50 mL) and dried overnight with magnesium sulfate. After filtration the solvent was evaporated. The remaining solid had a slight pink colour. It was crystallized from a mixture of ethanol and tert-butylmethyl ether (1:1 v/v). The pink needles were filtrated and washed with n-pentane to give 2.71 g (88% yield)

 

Melting Point: 106¨C107 ¡ãC.

 

TLC (silica, hexane/tert-butylmethyl ether (1:1 v/v): A yellow spot emerged after spraying the sheet with vanillin/sulfuric acid reagent followed by heating with a hot-air gun; Rf = 0.05. The starting material (1) showed a pale yellow spot at Rf = 0.27.
