Thionyl Chloride → 2-[2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]acetyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride, 8.0 grams (0.112 mole) was stirred, and 10.0 grams (0.056 mole) of 3,6,9-trioxadecanoic acid was added dropwise during a 45 minute period. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to reflux where it stirred for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled, yielding 3,6,9-trioxadecanoyl chloride. An 80% yield of acid chloride was assumed.
