HalogenationO 0235 A Highly Chemoselective and Rapid Chlorination of Benzyl Alcohols under Neu-
tral Conditions. — The chlorination of benzylic and cinnamic alcohols uses cyanuric chloride under virtually neutral conditions. The method allows a highly selective ben-zylic chlorination in the presence of aliphatic alcohols or even unprotected carbohy-drates. Chiral benzylic alcohols react with inversion of configuration. — (SUN, L.; PENG, G.; NIU, H.; WANG, Q.; LI*, C.; Synthesis 2008, 24, 3919-3924; Dep. Chem., Coll.
