Procedure
A solution of 4-(4-phenylbutoxy)benzyl alcohol (556 mg, 2.17 mmol) in chloroform (10 ml) was added with thionyl chloride (0.288 ml) and left under stirring at room temperature for 24 h, then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 595 mg of the title compound (quantitative yield).
