Abstract

Abstract: A solution of 1: 1 equivalent of thionyl chloride and benzotriazole in dry methylene chloride efficiently transforms alcohols and carboxylic acids into the corresponding alkyl chlorides and acid chlorides respectively at room temperature, with excellent yields by simple titration. Key words: benzotriazole, thionyl chloride, chlorination, alcohols, carboxylic acids
