Reaction Steps

600 ml of thionyl chloride were added dropwise to a suspension of 549.4 gm of 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-acetic acid in 600 ml of methylene chloride, while stirring, over a period of 2 hours. After the evolution of gas had ceased (16 hours), the mixture was refluxed for an hour. After the volatile components had been removed, the residue was distilled in vacuo.
