Participants

Reaction Steps

Step AAH (2): To a solution of 4-(2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)butanoic acid (490 mg, 2.07 mmol) in anhydrous Et2O (10 mL) was added oxalyl dichloride (526 mg, 4.15 mmol). Anhydrous DMF (2 drops) was added and the resulting mixture stirred at rt for 1 h. The crude reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with toluene (10 mL) and reconcentrated to afford 4-(2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)butanoyl chloride (2.07 mmol).
