Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzhydrol (5 mL, 20 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added dropwise thionyl chloride (3 mL, 41 mmol) at rt. The reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 18 h, concentrated under vacuum, azeotroped with toluene and dried under vacuum to give the title compound (4.9 g, 89% yield) as oil, which was used in the next step without further purification. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 235.0 (M-HCl).
