Reaction Steps

Initially, oxalyl chloride is added to an equimolar amount of p-bromophenylacetic acid (13) in an inert solvent, preferably methylene chloride, at about room temperature, with a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide. The mixture is stirred for about 30 minutes, after which the product, p-bromophenylacetyl chloride (14), is isolated by conventional means.
