Reaction Steps

2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)acetic acid (25.0 g, 122 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (122 mL) at ambient temperature. Sulfuryl dichloride (8.89 mL, 122 mmol) was then added, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a light yellow oil which was used without further purification. MS (m/z)=219 (M+H)+.
