Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-formylbenzoic acid (84 grams (g), 0.558 moles), thionyl chloride (80.5 g, 0.71 moles), and dimethylformamide (3 milliliters (ml)), in toluene (500 ml) was slowly warmed to 70° C. and stirred at that temperature for 2 hours. The toluene was eliminated in the rotavap to yield 97.7 g of 3-formylbenzoyl used in the next step as such.
