Reaction Steps

2-chloro-6-fluoro-alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol of (B) (45.1 g, 0.26 mol) is dissolved in chloroform (70 ml), and thionyl chloride (61.5 g, 0.52 mol) is added over a period of 30 minutes. The resultant mixture is refluxed for 16 hours. Excess thionyl chloroform are then removed on a rotary evaporator, resulting in pure title product (46.2 g, 92.6%).
