Participants

Procedure

2,4-Bis-benzyloxy-5-isopropyl-benzoic acid (Preparation B10) (0.2 g, 0.53 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (10 ml) and treated with oxalyl chloride (1.5 g, 12 mmol) and a catalytic amount of DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours and the solvent was then removed in vacuo. The crude material was dissolved in toluene and evaporated. Crude 2,4-bis-benzyloxy-5-isopropyl-benzoyl chloride was obtained as an oil (200 mg).
