Reaction Steps

To a solution of 14.1 g (0.07 mole) of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid in 200 ml of dry benzene, 10 ml of thionyl chloride is added and the mixture is refluxed for 10 hours. The excess of thionyl chloride is removed in vacuo and the acid chloride is purified by repeated addition of fresh benzene and subsequent removal in vacuo.
