Reaction Steps

99.0 g (0.52 mol) of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and 1 ml of N,N'-dimethylformamide are initially introduced into 600 ml of chlorobenzene and 68.5 g=42 ml (0.58 mol) of thionyl chloride are added at 40° C. The mixture is subsequently stirred at 40° C. for 1.5 h and excess thionyl chloride is then distilled off in vacuo. 776.8 g of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoyl chloride are obtained as a clear solution in chlorobenzene.
