Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (38 ml) and a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide was added to a solution of (2-chlorophenyl)acetic acid (50 g) in CH2Cl2 (300 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to give (2-chlorophenyl)acetyl chloride (41.24 g) as an oil.
