Reaction Steps

3,5-Di-t-butyl-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride was prepared by nitration of 3,5-di-t-butylbenzoic acid 46.86 grams (0.20 mol) with 90% nitric acid (150 ml, d=1.5) to give 3,5-di-t-butyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (54.6 grams) followedby treatment with thionyl chloride (250 ml) with dimethylformamide (1 ml).
