Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 21.2 grams (0.070 mole) of 4-pyridyl[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methanol in 500 mL of ethyl acetate was stirred vigorously and anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas was slowly added during a 15 minute period, below the surface of the solution. The reaction mixture was then stirred for an additional 15 minutes, and a solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with ethyl acetate and dried, yielding 11.4 grams of the subject compound. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
