Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

29.30 g (100 mmol) of 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid are suspended in a mixture of 200 ml of DCM and 1 ml of DMF as solvent. 19.04 g (150 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) of oxalyl chloride are slowly added dropwise at room temperature. The mixture is then stirred at room temperature for two hours and at 30° C. for 30 min. This is followed by evaporation in a rotary evaporator, and the resulting crude product is employed in the following stage.
