Reaction Steps

In 500 ml of toluene was dissolved 160 g (0.8 mol) of the resulting methyl 3-oxodecanoate, the solution was cooled to 0 to 5° C., and 108 g (0.8 mol) of sulfuryl chloride was added thereto dropwise, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. Toluene was removed by evaporation to give 187.8 g (0.8 mol; yield: 100% from methyl 3-oxodecanoate) of the title compound.
