Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (50.5 ml) was added dropwise over 1 hour to a stirred solution of 1-cyclohexyl-3-buten-2-ol (50 g) (obtained as described in European Patent Application, Publication No. 258183) in dry ether (1 litre). The solution was allowed to stand overnight and then water (750 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The organic phase was separated, washed with water (500 ml) and saturated sodium chloride solution (2×250 ml) and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residual liquid distilled under high vacuum to give (2E)-1-chloro-4-cyclohexylbut-2 -ene (B), as a clear liquid (42.2 g), b.p. 64-68° C. at 0.5 mm Hg; NMR: 0.8-1.8(complex m, 11H), 2.0(t, 2H), 4.0(d, 2H), 5.5-5.9(complex m, 2H); microanalysis, found: C, 69.5; H, 10.0; Cl, 20.3%; C10H17Cl requires: C, 69.5; H, 9.9; Cl, 20.5%.
