But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.
When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation:
so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅
