Thionyl Chloride → HCID 13662670, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Five milliliters of thionyl chloride are added to a solution of 5.0 g (30 millimoles) tricyclo [4.3.1.12,5 ] undecane-1-ol in 30 ml dry anhydrous benzene and the entirety is refluxed for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and there is further added 20 ml of dry benzene. Reduced pressure concentration is repeated to distill out the excess thionyl chloride completely. The residue is distilled under reduced pressure to collect a fraction boiling at 95° C./3mmHg, to obtain 5.0 g (yield 89%) of 1-chlorotricyclo [4.3.1.12,5 ] undecane.
