Procedure: To a stirred solution of 2,4,6-trichlorobenzylalcohol (10.0 g; 47.3 mmol) in chloroform (100 ml) kept under nitrogen atmosphere, thionyl chloride (6.07 ml; 85.1 mmol) was added slowly at 0° C. over a period of 15 minutes followed by catalytic amount of DMF. The reaction mix was allowed to stir at ambient temp for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with 50 ml of water; the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×100 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution (2×50 ml) followed by brine (50 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. 10.9 g (100% of theory) of 1,3,5-trichloro-2-chloromethyl-benzene was obtained in form of a white solid.

Procedure: To a stirred solution of 1,3,5-trichloro-2-chloromethyl-benzene (12.85 g, 58.8 mmole) in ethanol (45 ml), NaCN (3.20, 67.0 mmole) solution in water (15 ml) was added at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hours to complete the reaction. Ethanol was evaporated and the reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. Organic layer was concentrated under vacuum to give white solid. Crude product was purified by chromatography on silica-gel column to afford 9.0 g (75.0% of theory) of (2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)-acetonitrile The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hours the reaction Ethanol was evaporated the reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 ml) The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 ml) The combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 ml) dried over sodium sulfate Organic layer was concentrated under vacuum to give white solid Crude product was purified by chromatography on silica-gel column
