Reaction Steps

Under agitation, 58.3 g of 4-benzyloxy-3-nitrobenzyl alcohol is introduced in incremental portions into 250 ml of thionyl chloride, stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue is recrystallized from diisopropyl ether while decolorizing with active carbon, thus producing 50.9 g of 4-benzyloxy-3-nitrobenzyl chloride, mp 60°-61° C.
