Dimethylformamide → 2-(Ethylthio)benzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (113 μL, 1.3 mmol) was added slowly to a stirring suspension of 2-(ethylthio)benzoic acid (1-A) (182 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 3 μL DMF in methylene chloride (2 mL). After stirring for 3.5 h at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give 2-(ethylthio)benzoyl chloride (1-B).
