Reaction Steps

a mixture of 17.2 g (0.1 mole) 1-naphthoic acid, 14 g (0.11 moles) oxalyl chloride, 150 ml methylene chloride and three drops DMF (dimethylformamide) were stirred for about 24 hours. The clear reaction mixture was stripped to give about 19.1 g of the 1-naphthoyl chloride as a brown liquid which was used in step (b) without further isolation.
