Acetyl chloride → HCID 21705154, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 20% solution of acetyl chloride in dichloromethane (60 mL) was added to the crude bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-fluorophenylmethanol at rt. The resulting solution was stirred for 12 h after which the solvent was removed by evaporation. Toluene (100 mL) was added to the residue and was then evaporated to afford crude bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-fluorophenylchloromethane which was used without purification in the next step.
