Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride is metered at 70° C. to a suspension of 235 g (1.22 mol) of 3-chloro-2,4-difluorobenzoic acid in 800 ml of toluene and 3 ml of dimethylformamide until a clear solution has formed and evolution of gas is no longer observed. The toluene and excess thionyl chloride are then distilled off, and the product is subsequently obtained by distillation.
