Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (888 mg, 7 mmols) was added to a chloroform (10 ml) solution of the resulting carboxylic acid (0.9 g, 5 mmols) and DMF (catalytic amount, 1 drop), and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated to obtain 5-chloro-2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid chloride.
