Oxalyl chloride → 6-Fluoro-2-naphthoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Fluoro-2-naphthoic acid (228 mg, 1.2 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (15 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1 mL), and in an ice bath oxalic chloride (228 mg, 1.8 mmol) was added dropwise slowly. Upon completion of the dropwise addition, it was moved to react at room temperature for 3 hours, and concentrated under reduce pressure to obtain a white solid, i.e. 6-fluoro-2-naphthoyl chloride.
