Reaction Steps

To a solution of concentrated sulfuric acid (3.00 mL, 0.056 mol) in water (0.28 mL, 0.0156 mol) was added 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutan-2-ol (1.00 g, 0.00503 mol) over 30 minutes. Additional sulfuric acid was added to dissolve the solid. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was poured onto ice then extracted with ether. The organic phase was washed (water), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was filtered through a plug of silica with CH2Cl2 to afford the title compound (0.568 g, 63%).
