Abstract
2-Chloro-3-ethylbenzoxazolium tetrafluoroborate reacts smoothly with a variety of alcohols in the presence of tetraethylammonium chloride to afford the corresponding alkyl chlorides in high yields. Replacement of a hydroxyl group at an asymmetric carbon atom with chlorine proceeds in a stereospecific manner.
