HCID 853684-Ethylbenzoyl chloride

Procedure

200 g (1.33 millimoles) of 4-ethylbenzoic acid are added rapidly to 500 ml of thionyl chloride with stirring. The mixture is heated at the reflux temperature for 4 hours. After evaporation of the SOCl2 and distillation, 4-ethylbenzoyl chloride is obtained.
