Procedure

A solution of 3-chloro-1-phenylpropan-1-one (100 g, 0.595 mol) in THF (280 ml) was added dropwise to a well-stirred mixture of zinc powder (need not be activated) (40 g, 1.231 mol, satd aq NH4Cl solution (1500 ml) and THF (400 ml). Allyl bromide (143 g, 1.19 mol) was dissolved in THF (200 ml) was slowly added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was mildly exothermic, and the mixture began to reflux spontaneously. After refluxing had ceased, the mixture was stirred for 1 h. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated to give 1-chloro-3-phenylhex-5-en-3-ol (122 g, 97%). 1H NMR: (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=2.24 (s, 1H), 2.34 (m, 2H), 2.53 (m, 1H), 2.75 (m, 1H), 3.20 (m, 1H), 3.58 (m, 1H), 5.18 (t, 1H), 5.51 (m, 1H), 7.26 (m, 1H), 7.26-7.39 (m, 3H).
