Oxalyl chloride → HCID 86625245, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-water cooled solution of 4-phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylic acid (479 mg, 2.07 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added DMF (2-3 drops) followed by oxalyl chloride (0.20 mL, 2.14 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature overnight and then solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave crude 4-phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carbonyl chloride which was used directly in the next stage.
