Abstract

Most benzhydrols are prepared by the sodium borohydride reduction of corresponding benzophenones; chlorides are prepared by the reaction of carbinols with hydrogen chloride. Dry hydrogen chloride is introduced into a solution of benzhydrol in purified methylene dichloride in the presence of Drierite; after drying the solution by the addition of fresh Drierite, the solvent is removed under the reduced pressure. In this manner, benzhydryl ...
