It was then homologated to the corresponding benzyl ester via the procedure described in Tetrahedron Letters, 1980, 21, 4461-4462. The benzyl ester was converted to the acid by standard hydrogenation conditions of 10% Pd/C in MeOH/EtOAc::1:1. The acid was then converted to the acid chloride via standard treatment with thionyl chloride at reflux for 1 to 2 hours. Excess reagent was azeotropically removed with hexanes and the resulting acid chloride was used without further purification.
