Pyridine → 2-[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)oxy]-6-chlorobenzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)oxy]-6-chlorobenzoic acid (68.6 mg, 0.3 mmol) was weighed into a 1 dram septum-capped vial containing a micro stir bar under nitrogen. Dry acetonitrile (300 microliter), dry pyridine (24 microliter, 0.3 mmol) and oxalyl chloride (26 microliter, 0.3 mmol) were added in order to the vial using microliter syringes. The yellow homogeneous solution was stirred for 30 minutes to afford a solution of 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)oxy]-6-chlorobenzoyl chloride.
