Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (3 ml, 0.034 mol, Aldrich) was added to a suspension of (E)-2-(7-fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylidene)acetic acid (2.03 g, 0.01 mol) in toluene (35 ml) at 0° C. while protected from moisture by a nitrogen atmosphere. The stirring mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. and was stirred for 1.5 h. Concentration in vacuo gave (E)-2-(7-fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylidene)acetyl chloride which was dissolved in dichloromethane and used without purification.
