TP-MeCl

TP-MeCl is ThioPhenyl-Methyl Chloride (or Thiobenzyl chloride, TB-Cl). It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of TP2P (ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone) through a grignard reaction of Thiophenylmethylmagnesium chloride with acetonitrile and hydrochloric acid work-up. TP-MeCl is made by chloromethylation of Thiophene (TP-H, TPH, Thiophene, Thiophenyl Hydride).

I synthesized TP-MeCl using TP-H and chloromethylation. Then I synthesized TP2P.
