Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of cyclohexaneacetic acid (2.12 g, 14.9 mmol) in 30 mL of CH2Cl2 was added two drops of DMF followed by oxalyl chloride (1.3 mL, 14.9 mmol). The solution was warmed to r.t. and stirred overnight. The solvent was remove in vacuo to give 1.60 g of the title compound as a colourless liquid.
