Oxalyl chloride → 2,6-Difluorobenzoyl isocyanate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.52 g of 2,6-difluorobenzamide and 0.33 ml of oxalyl chloride was stirred under reflux in 15 ml 1,2-dichloroethane overnight. Solvent was removed under vacuum and 10 ml 1,2-dichloroethane was added. Solvent was removed under vacuum to leave the title intermediate, which could be used directly or dissolved in 1,2- dichloroethane and stored for future use.
