Oxalyl chloride → 3-Cyano-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-cyano-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (0.207 g, 1.03 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (0.112 mL, 1.29 mmol) and 1 drop of DMF. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h., the solvent was removed in vacuo and the 3-cyano-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenecarbonyl chloride was used without purification.
