The 2-chloro-6-methylbenzyl alcohol is dissolved in 100 ml of benzene, treated with 25 ml of thionyl chloride and the mixture is heated at reflux for 3 hours. Concentration of this mixture to dryness leaves a liquid which partly solidifies. The product containing liquid is decanted from the solid by-product and distilled to yield 7.8 g of alpha,2-dichloro-6-methyltoluene as a colorless liquid with bp. 118°-122° C./17-18 mm of Hg.
