HCID 7412Benzoyl chloride

Procedure

α, α,α-Trichlorotoluene (19.6 g; 0.1M), ferric chloride (4.1 g; 0.02M) and 1,2-dichloroethane (500 ml) were stirred under reflux under heavier than water Dean and Stark apparatus. Water (1.8 g) was then added to the Dean and Stark apparatus and the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. By this time, all of the water had been consumed. The mixture was then filtered through Hyflo (Trade Mark) to remove the ferric chloride.
