Abstract
Structurally different benzylic alcohols were efficiently converted to their corresponding chlorides by silica chloride (SiO2-Cl) in CHCl3 at room temperature. Silica chloride is also able to convert benzylic alcohols to their iodides in the presence of NaI in a mixture of CH3CN/CHCl3 in excellent yields.
