Dimethylformamide → 3-Cyano-4-isopropoxybenzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.224 ml, 2.56 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 3-cyano-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]benzoic acid (which can be prepared as described in WO2005/58848, 500 mg, 2.437 mmol) in DCM (10 ml), followed by DMF (20 μl) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated to give the title compound (545 mg, 100%) as an olive green solid which was used in the next step without further purification.
