Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, 4-(3,7-dimethyl-1-octyloxy)benzoic acid was dissolved in anhydrous chloroform (25 ml), and after ice-cooling, thionyl chloride (6.72 ml, 92.7 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as an oil. The present compound was directly used for the next step.
