Participants

Reaction Steps

On the other hand, 4-fluorobenzoic acid (0.01 mol) (1.4 g) was reacted with thionyl chloride (10 ml) at 60° C. for 30 minutes and then at 80° C. for 2 hours to obtain a uniform solution, which was then allowed to stand for one hour, followed by distilling off excess thionyl chloride to obtain 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride as residue.
