Hi guys, i'm wondering about this synth..
Bz-OH + NaCl <--H2SO4cc (catalyst)--> Bz-Cl + H2O
What do you think about making the HCl in situ? Bz-OH + some water, all in icebath, concentrated sulfuric acid added dropwise , and finally sodium
chloride in small portions
I've seen this kind of reaction for bromoethane preparation from ethanol and sodium bromide.. (there's a video on youtube) but Bz-OH solubility in
water could be a problem I think.

You can just shake benzyl alcohol with conc. HCl.
