Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 25 g of 4-tert-butylchlorobenzene synthesized in (1) above were added 20 g of sulfuryl chloride and a catalytic amount of benzoyl peroxide, and the temperature was elevated and the mixture was maintained at 100° C. for 1 hour. Then, the mixture was distilled under reduced pressure to give 17.0 g of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-1-chloropropane (bp.: 121°-123° C./10 mmHg).
