Reaction Steps

To 4-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-butyric acid (250 mg, 1.165 mmol) was added portion wise thionyl chloride (1.69 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 90° C. After such time the excess of thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo to yield the crude title compound which was used in the next step without any further purification.
