HCID 10888895Acetyl chloride, (benzoyloxy)-Yield 88%

Procedure

A mixture of 2-(benzoyloxy)acetic acid (12.6 g) and thionyl chloride (15 ml) was refluxed for 3 h. Excess of thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo and the crude (benzoyloxy)acetyl chloride obtained was purified by distillation in vacuo. The yield was 88%. Mp 25°-26° C.
