Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)benzoic acid (5.00 g, 26.4 mmol) produced in Example A7(ii) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) were added N,N-dimethylformamide (40 μL) and oxalyl chloride (3.20 mL, 36.5 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)benzoyl chloride.
