Clemmensen Reduction x Halet
« on: August 27, 2023, 07:15:04 PM »
Hello it's my first post
I need to make a reduction of Clemmensen on a ketone, but the structure have also a halet group, will Clemmenses reduction affects the halet?

O=C(C1=CC=CC=C1)CCl

If you check the mechanism, you will see it will also reduce the chloride , similar to a Grignard reaction.

Do you have any ideia of what reaction I could use to convert This C=O on CH2 without affect the halet?

Is this a practical reaction you want to run? You can buy the product?

Yes, I want to synth similar compounds, varying the CH2 between Cl and Aromatic
