Thionyl Chloride → 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-fluoro-3-methoxybenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.57 g (3.64 mmol) of 2-fluoro-6-methoxybenzyl alcohol was dissolved in 10 ml of benzene, and the resultant solution was added with 0.56 g (4.73 mmol) of thionyl chloride under a room temperature. The obtained solution was stirred for 1 hour at a room temperature to complete a reaction. The reacted solution was then condensed under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of 2-fluoro-6-methoxybenzyl chloride.
