Reaction Steps

2.3 g of (5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetic acid in 20 ml of dichloromethane are treated with 2.1 g of oxalyl chloride and a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the crude residue of (5-cyclopropyl-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetyl chloride (2.5 g) is used for the next step.
