Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 138.41 g of 2,6-diethyl-4-methylbenzyl alcohol and 820 g of toluene was added dropwise 60.96 g of thionyl chloride at 25° C. over 4.5 hours. The resultant mixture was stirred for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to obtain 159.58 g of 2,6-diethyl-4-methylbenzyl chloride (GC-area: 71%) as a brown oil.
