2,4-Dichlorophenethyl Alcohol

clear colorless liquid

General procedure: Phenethyl alcohol (3a) A two neck Schlenk flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and septum was heated with heat gun (~400 °C) for 10 min under high vacuum. After cooling to room temperature, the flask was flushed with argon (3 times). Zn-dust (654 mg, 2.0 equiv, 10.0 mmol) was added followed by THF (20 mL). 1, 2-Dibromoethane (5 molpercent) was added and the reaction mixture was heated until ebullition occurs. After cooling to rt, chlorotrimethylsilane (1 molpercent) was added and the mixture was heated again till ebullition occurs. The flask was again cooled to rt and benzyl chloride (633 mg, 5.0 mmol, 1 equiv) was added as a solution in THF (10 mL) and it was heated at 70 °C for 2 h and cooled to rt. Paraformaldehyde (450 mg, 3.0 equiv. 15.0 mmol) was slowly added at rt and the flask was again heated at 70 °C for 6 h. The solution was cooled to rt and saturated NH
