Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 200 mL round-bottom flask fitted with a reflux condenser was charged with 4-(4-carboxy-benzyl)-morpholin-4-ium chloride (10.0 g, 0.039 mol, 1.0 eq), toluene (50 mL), DMF (0.3 mL, 0.0039 mol, 0.1 eq), and thionyl chloride (7.1 mL, 0.097 mol, 2.5 eq) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 6 h and then cooled to 0° C. The resulting mixture was filtered and the solid washed with pentane to yield 4-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-benzoyl chloride, which was used in the next step without further purification.
