Reaction Steps

3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (214 mg, 1.0 mmol) was treated with a solution of oxalyl chloride (1.5 mL of 2 M in dichloromethane, 3 mmol) and a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction was stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The excess oxalyl chloride was removed in vacuo to afford 3-phenoxybenzoyl chloride.
