Participants

Reaction Steps

79.3 g (0.26 mol) of 2-chlorophenyl-indan-5-yl-carbinol, dissolved in 150 ml of benzene, are added dropwise to a mixture of 21.5 ml (0.26 mol) of thionyl chloride and 150 ml of benzene at 70° C. After heating the reaction mixture under reflux for five hours, it is evaporated. 71 g (98% of theory) of 2-chlorophenyl-indan-5-yl-chloromethane of refractive index nD20 =1.6050 are obtained. ##STR11##
