Abstract

Ortho-, meta-, and para-chlorophenyl hydrogen succinate were subjected to the Fries rearrangement in both 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and toluene. The products were identified by comparison with authentic specimens and by infrared spectroscopy.

The Friedel–Crafts reaction between o-, m-, and p-chloroanisole and o-chlorophenol and succinic anhydride was investigated.
