Synthesis of allyl chlorides
Recent Literature

AcCl-EtOH transforms primary and secondary allyl acetates into allyl
chlorides that retain the olefinic bond in the more stable position. Secondary
allyl alcohols react with almost the same efficacy as the acetates, but the
reactions of primary allyl alcohols that possess 1,2-disubstituted alkenes are
very slow. Simple removal of the volatiles gives products in high purity.
