Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel is charged with toluene, a catalytic amount of DMF (1-5% by weight of the amount of thionyl chloride employed) and 1 equivalent of 3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzoic acid. While stirring, 1 to 4 equivalents of thionyl chloride are slowly added at 70 to 90° C.
