Reaction Steps

50 g of 2-(p-fluorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid were dissolved in 200 ml of benzene and treated with 54.2 g of thionyl chloride. The mixture was stirred at 60° for 45 minutes and subsequently heated to reflux for 2 hours. After evaporation of the solvent the residue was distilled, whereby 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-butyryl chloride, b.p. 70°/93 Pa, was obtained.
