Thionyl Chloride → N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethyloxycarbonyl)-glycyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 25 parts of N-[(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)carbonyl]glycine in 250 parts by volume of toluene is added dropwise with stirring 20 parts of thionyl chloride. The resultant reaction mixture is heated on a steam bath for about 2 hours, then the solvent and excess of thionyl chloride are removed by distillation to afford {[(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)carbonyl]amino} acetyl chloride represented by the following formula
