Reaction Steps

The requisite p-chlorophenylacetyl chloride was prepared in the following manner. p-Chlorophenylacetic acid (15 g.; 0.088 mole) and thionyl chloride (31.5 g.; 0.0264 mole) were heated at reflux for 2 hours. Excess thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo to afford the acid chloride which was used without further purification.
