Reaction Steps

134 g of 3,3-dimethyl-4-(4'-chloro-phenacyl)-γ-butyrolactone were dissolved in 215 g of thionyl chloride in a 0.7 liter autoclave with a glass liner. 100 g of methanol were then pumped in and the mixture was heated to 50° C. for 4 hours. After working up as in Example 10, 6-(4'-chloro-phenyl)-6-oxo-4-chloro-3,3-dimethyl-hexanoic acid methyl ester was obtained.
