Furfurylacetate was prepared and was chlorinated under various reaction conditions. At the low reaction temperature the chlorination product was composed of the stable trans-tetrachloride (yield, 25∼30%), decomposition product (low chlorine content), and unstable cis-tetrachloride. There were no appreciable quantity of the trichloride. At the high reaction temperature the chlorination products were exclusively decomposed. The reaction conditions, separation scheme, and the configurataion of the product were discussed.
