Reaction Steps

The amino ester (2) was converted to the diazonium salt and reduced by boiling in ethanol containing finely divided copper to give the pure ester (3). Hydrolysis of the ester with aqueous ethanolic KOH followed by acidification with 5M HCl, gave the acid (4) in approximately 70% yield. The acid was converted to the corresponding acid chloride (5) by reaction with SOCl2.
