Reaction Steps

5-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (19 g.) was heated in thionyl chloride 64 ml.) under reflux for 1 hour. Benzene (100 ml.) was then added, and evaporated off under reduced pressure. The solid residue was recrystallized from hexane to give the required product (15 g., 72%) m.p. 59°-60°.
