Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-formyl-5-chlorobenzoic acid (66.5 g, 0.36 moles), thionyl chloride (51.5 g, 0.43 moles), and dimethylformamide (1 ml), in toluene (400 ml) was slowly warmed to 70° C. and stirred at that temperature for 2 hours. The toluene was eliminated in the rotavap to yield 3-formyl-5-chlorobenzoyl chloride, used in the next step as such.
