Thionyl Chloride → 11-Chloro-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled suspension of 6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e] oxepine-11-ol (4.0 g) in methylene chloride (80 ml) was added thionyl chloride (2.74 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure to give 11-chloro-6,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e] oxepine as an oily substance. The whole substance was used for next reaction without isolation and purification.
