Reaction Steps

8.1 g (68.1 mmole) of thionyl chloride was added to a solution of 5.5 g (22.7 mmole) of (diphenylmethoxy) acetic acid in 150 cm3 of benzene. The solution was refluxed for 5 hours, then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Distillation of the residue yielded 4.3 g (yield: 73%) of (diphenylmethoxy) acetyl chloride.
