Following the procedure of Goldman et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,757), phenylmalonic acid (72 g., 0.40 mole), thionyl chloride (52.4 g., 0.44 mole) and dimethylformamide (0.070 l ml.) are mixed in diisopropyl ether and refluxed for 2 hours. The resulting solution of phenylmalonic acid-half acid chloride is cooled and stored under an inert atmosphere until use. Following a procedure analogous to that of Goldman et al., benzhydryl alcohol (73.6 g., 0.40 mole) is added to the half-acid chloride solution and the mixture again refluxed for 2 hours. The volume is reduced by half, providing a diisopropylether solution of 2-phenyl-2-benzhydryloxycarbonylacetyl chloride used directly in the next step.
