Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (1.23 ml, 14.24 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 5-fluoro 2-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid (1 gm, 4.81 mmol) in HPLC grade DCM (15 ml), containing DMAP. The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 40 min. The reaction mass was cooled to room temperature and solvent evaporated to dryness under a nitrogen atmosphere to get crude 5-fluoro 2-trifluoromethyl benzoyl chloride.
