Participants

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (0.78 cc) is added in the course of 10 minutes to a stirred solution, cooled beforehand to 0° C., of 3-phenyl-1-naphthalenemethanol (1 g) in chloroform (20 cc), and the temperature is then allowed to rise to room temperature (approximately 20° C.). The mixture is stirred for 15 hours at this temperature and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. 1-Chloromethyl-3-phenylnaphthalene (1.1 g) is obtained, the proton NMR spectrum of which, in deuterated chloroform, shows the following characteristics:
