Reaction Steps

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-propionic acid (3.83 g; 20.7 mmol) is dissolved in 50 ml thionyl chloride and stirred at room temperature overnight. The excess thionyl chloride is removed by rotary evaporation to give 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-propionyl chloride as a pale yellow oil, which is used without purification.
