Reaction Steps

Thionylchloride (12.0 g) and 18.11 g of 2-nitrophenylacetic acid are weighed into a flask and allowed to stand at room temperature (~21°) for 16 hours. A stirring bar is added and the reaction driven to completion by warming at 35° for five additional hours until no solid is visible. To the red solution is added 5 ml benzene and the volatile material is removed with vacuum to give 2-nitrophenyacetyl chloride.
