ABSTRACT:

2(3H)-benzoxazolones or 2(3H)-benzothiazolones react at 70-75 degrees C with omega-halogenoacyl chlorides in the presence the AlCl3-DMF complex to produce the expected ketones in 55-88 % yield. Treatment of a 2(3H)-benzoxazolone or 2(3H)-benzothiazolone by 4-chlorobutyryl chloride produced an alcohol derivative, presumably via an anchimeric participation of the 6-acyl carbonyl moiety.
