Procedure

A round bottom flask was charged with 4-bromobenzoic acid (2.0 g, 9.95 mmol) in chloroform (150 mL). To the solution was added thionyl chloride (3 mL) in chloroform (10 mL), 2-3 drops of dimethylformamide (DMF). The slurry was heated at reflux for 3 hr. while monitoring the reaction through a bubbler. A clear solution of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride was obtained, the volatiles were removed and a light yellow oil was obtained which solidified upon cooling.
