Participants

Reaction Steps

96 g of 2-(phenylthio)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl alcohol are dissolved in 450 ml of absolute benzene and heated to reflux. The solution thus obtained is treated dropwise over a period of 20 minutes with 48 ml of thionyl chloride and the mixture is subsequently stirred at reflux for 30 minutes. After cooling, the mixture is evaporated under reduced pressure. There is obtained 2-(phenylthio)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl chloride as a brown-yellow oil.
