Reaction Steps

o-Fluorophenylacetic acid (35.9 g; 0.233 mmol) was stirred in 40 ml of thionyl chloride for 24 hours at room temperature. Volatile material was removed in vacuo to obtain a yellow, mobile liquid. The liquid was distilled in vacuo to obtain 27.45 g (68.5%) of o-fluorophenylacetyl chloride as a colorless liquid, b.p. 85° C. (4 mm Hg).
