Oxalyl chloride (130 ml, 1.49 mol) was placed in a dry 3-neck flask under N2 and cooled to 0° C. With stirring, 2-chloroallyl alcohol (138 g, 1.49 mol) was added dropwise in a manner which maintained the temperature at 0°-2° C. and controlled the vigorous evolution of HCl, then allowed to warm to room temperature and held 16 hours and distilled to yield title product, 214 g, b.p. 82°-84° C./23 mm.
