Participants

Reaction Steps

To 30 ml. of benzene is added 5.35 g. of 1-hydroxyindan-4-carboxylic acid. Following the addition of 15 ml. of thionyl chloride, the mixture is stirred for 3 hours. Then, the reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and the resultant crystals are recrystallized from benzene. The described procedure gives 1-chloroindan-4-carboxylic acid melting at 135.5°-137.5° C.
