Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example I was repeated except that the reaction mass contained 150 ml water, 5.6 g iron (99.9+% pure), 0.2 g CuCl (99.9% pure), and 25.4 g benzyl chloride. The reaction period was for 3 hr. 13.0 g of crude diphenylethane product was obtained. This represents a 71.4% yield.
