Conditions

Temperature
22.5 °C

Procedure

To a cooled solution of 6-hydroxy-1-napthoic acid (TCI America) (50 g, 0.27 mmol) in methanol (500 mL), thionyl chloride (29 mL, 0.40 mmol) was added slowly. The temperature was maintained at 15 to 30° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred O/N. The solvent was concentrated in-vacuo and the residue azeotroped with benzene. The title compound was obtained as a pink solid.
