Reaction Steps

Styrene (1 mmol) was treated with sodium chloride (1.2 mmol) in acetonitrile: water (2:1, 6 ml). 20% Sulfuric acid (5 ml) and sodium periodate (20 mol %) was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was heated at 70° C. under inert atmosphere for 18 h. The product was purified by column chromatography to give 1-phenyl-2-chloroethanol (95%).
