Reaction Steps

150 ml of EtOH are cooled in an ice bath, 10 ml of thionyl chloride are added slowly, 10 g of 3-fluoro-4-methylbenzoic acid are then added and the reaction mixture is stirred, the temperature being allowed to rise to RT. It is refluxed for 2 hours and then concentrated under vacuum to give 10.45 g of the expected product in the form of an oil.
