Reaction Steps

3-(para-Fluorophenyl)propionic acid (25.00 g, 150.0 mmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in methylene chloride (100 mL) at 25° C. under N2 and thionyl chloride (54.2 mL, 740.0 mmol, 5 eq.) added dropwise via an addition funnel. Worked up after 24 hours by stripping off the solvent then rerotovaping 2 times from toluene (25 mL) to obtain 24.3 g of a yellow oil.
