Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.2 g of [4-(hexadecyloxy)phenoxy]acetic acid, 6.4 g of oxalyl chloride, 225 ml of methylene chloride and 5 drops of N,N-dimethylformamide is stirred at ambient temperature for 17 hours. The solvent is evaporated to a residue which is dissolved in ether and filtered through diatomaceous earth. The filtrate is evaporated to give 13.9 g of the desired product as a white solid.
