HCID 128926752-Methoxy-6-methylbenzoyl chloride

Procedure

2-Methoxy-6-methyl-benzoic acid (21.4 g, 0.129 mol) was refluxed for 3 hours in 230 mL thionyl chloride. Excess thionyl chloride was removed under reduced pressure. Co-evaporation of the residue with toluene gave 23.8 g of 2-methoxy-6-methyl-benzoyl chloride.

Workup

  1. customExcess thionyl chloride was removed under reduced pressure
  2. customCo-evaporation of the residue with toluene
