Thionyl Chloride → 6-[(4-Fluorophenyl)oxy]-3-pyridinecarbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-[(4-Fluorophenyl)oxy]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (D14) (0.032 g, 0.14 mmol) was solubilised in dry dioxane (2 mL). Thionyl chloride (0.081 mg, 0.14 mmol) was added drop-wise and the reaction mixture heated at reflux for 1.25 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and then re-concentrated from DCM to give 6-[(4-fluorophenyl)oxy]-3-pyridinecarbonyl chloride which was used directly in step 2
