Dimethylformamide → Benzoyl chloride, 3-nitro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-nitrobenzoic acid (934 mg, 5.64 mmol) in benzene (15 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (0.6 mL, 6.77 mmol) and DMF (7 mL), respectively. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature until a clear solution was formed. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and crude acid chloride was used in the next reaction without further purification.
