Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Oxidation of 2-Chloro Aldehyde Acetals to 2-Chloro Acids Esters

2-Chloro acid methyl esters were prepared in good yields treating 2-chloro aldehyde dimethyl acetals with trichloroisocyanuric acid in DMF.Aldehyde dimethyl acetals with the 2-halogen on a tertiary carbon atom were poorly reactive and could be oxidized efficiently only after their transformation into 1,3-dioxolanes.
