Reaction Steps

To a 20 ml volume three-necked flask, 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-ethylphenyl]-2-oxoacetic acid (8-c) (1.01 g), toluene (3.5 ml), dimethylformamide (3 drops), and thionyl chloride (624 mg) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere, and stirred at 50° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and azeotropic-distilled with toluene 3 times to give 937 mg of 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-ethylphenyl]-2-oxoacetyl chloride (6-c).
