Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (28.1 g, 0.2 mole), glycerol (18.4 g, 0.2 mole) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.1 g) in 150 ml of benzene was heated at reflux under a Dean-Stark apparatus until water was no longer collecting (3.6 ml). The solution was cooled, washed with 2% sodium bicarbonate solution (2 × 100 ml) and with water (2 × 100 ml). The washed solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The oil remaining was distilled to give 18.1 g of colorless liquid which distilled at a pot temperature of 124°-128° C under 1 × 10-4 mm.
