Reaction Steps

Then, in a 200 ml-reaction vessel, 17.1 g (7.43×10-2M) of 6-acetoxy-2-naphthoic acid and 85 ml of dry benzene were placed. To the mixture, 15.9 g (6.91×10-2M) of phosphorus pentachloride was added in 30 minutes at room temperature, followed by stirring for 4 hours at 60° C. After cooling, the solvent of the reaction mixture was distilled off to provide oily 6-acetoxy-2-naphthoyl chloride.
