Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-bromo-2-naphthoic acid (100 g), thionyl chloride (37.7 mL) and DMF (0.5 mL) in THF (1000 mL) was stirred with heating at 60° C. for 90 min. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was dissolved in toluene and the solvent was evaporated to give a pale-yellow powder of 6-bromo-2-naphthoyl chloride.
