Reaction Steps

At room temperature, 29.8 g of thionyl chloride is carefully dripped into 35 g of 2-chloro-3-isopropylbenzyl alcohol in 80 ml of carbon tetrachloride. The mixture is stirred for 15 hours at 25° C. and then evaporated down. Distillation (bp 0.3 :76°-78° C.) gives 33 g of 2-chloro-3-isopropylbenzyl chloride.
