Reaction Steps
1420g (5 moles) of stearic acid and 6 liters of ethylene dichloride are placed in a 12-liter flask and warmed to 45° C. 1270 g (10 moles) of oxalyl chloride is added dropwise over a 2.5 hour time period. After 1 hour of refluxing, the flask is blanketed with argon and cooled overnight. The solvent is removed and the stearoyl chloride is used without further purification.
