Dimethylformamide → 3-(1-Cyanocyclopropyl)benzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(1-cyanocyclopropyl)benzoic acid (2.6 g, 13.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) were added oxalyl chloride (1.63 mL, 19.1 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (about 20 μL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-(1-cyanocyclopropyl)benzoyl chloride as a colorless oil.
