Thionyl Chloride → HCID 14986648, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.5 g (2.03 mmol) of 6-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-hexanoic acid in 4 ml of benzene is mixed with 362 mg (3.04 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) of SOCl2 and heated under reflux for 2 hours. It is allowed to cool, and the solvent is distilled off in a rotary evaporator. To remove excess SOCl2 from the reaction mixture, the residue is mixed again with benzene and again distilled off. 494 mg (1.865 mmol, 92%) of the 6-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-hexanoyl chloride is obtained. This crude product is further reacted without purification and characterization.
