Benzene → HCID 14855598, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (7.24 g, 0.0608 mole) was added to a stirred solution of 2-(4-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)-2-fluorophenoxy)propanoic acid (21.0 g, 0.0553 mole), benzene (150 ml), and dimethyl formamide (0.3 g). Refluxing was effected for three hours. The benzene and residual thionyl chloride were removed by distillation under vacuum. The resulting amber colored oil (21 g) was shown to be the desired acid chloride by NMR and IR spectroscopy. This material was used directly in subsequent reactions.
