Participants

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (25.6 ml, 0.36 mole) was added to undec-10-enoic acid (62.6 grams, 0.34 mole) over a period of 45 minutes, while stirring and the resulting mixture was thereafter refluxed for 2 hours. The acyl chloride was then removed under reduced pressure (102° C./2 mm Hg), to give Compound 55 (see, Scheme 30 below) in 88% yield.
