Ferrario-Ackermann reaction

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ferrario-Ackermann reaction , also known as the Ferrario reaction, is a chemical reaction for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds from the group of phenoxathiines . This name reaction is named after ME Ferrario and the German industrial chemist Fritz Ackermann, who discovered this synthetic method.

The Ferrario-Ackermann reaction allows the cyclization of diaryl ethers , e.g. B. 1 , by inserting a sulfur atom:

Ferrario-Ackermann reaction

Under the action of elemental sulfur and aluminum trichloride, 1 becomes the heterocycle 2 . The reaction can be transferred to other diaryl ethers.
