Addition of two equivalents of hydrogen chloride to ethoxyacetylene yields α,α‐dichlorodiethyl ether (III). This substance reacts easily with carboxylic acids to yield acyl chlorides (X). α, α, β ‐Trichlorodiethyl ether (XIII), obtainable in two steps from trichloroethene (XI), shows the same reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
