Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-fluorobenzamide (1 g, 7.2 mmol) in DCM (25 mL) was added slowly oxalylchloride (0.76 mL, 8.62 mmol). The mixture was heated to 50° C. for ˜18 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 4-fluorobenzoyl isocyanate (1.2 g). The crude material was used in the next step without further purification.
