Thionyl Chloride → 2-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethoxyBenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.49 g (2.93 mmol) of 2,6-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol was dissolved in 6 ml of benzene, and the resultant solution was added with 0.41 g (3.32 mmol) of thionyl chloride at a room temperature. The thus obtained solution was then stirred for 1.5 hours at a room temperature to complete a reaction. The reacted solution was then condensed under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of 2,6-dimethoxybenzyl chloride.
