Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoicacid (339) (300 g, 1.76 mol, 1.0 eq) and DMF (0.5 mL) in DCM (500 mL) at RT, oxalyl chloride (249 g, 1.92 mol, 1.1 eq) was added slowly (over 5 min). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h and then concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoyl chloride (340) which was used directly in the next step.
