Reaction Steps

A mixture of 27.2 g (0.2 moles) phenylacetic acid and 28 g (0.22 moles) oxalyl chloride in 150 ml methylene chloride were stirred for 24 hours. Excess reagent and solvent were removed by stripping to give 30.8 g of phenylacetyl chloride, which was used in step (b) without further isolation.
