Reaction Steps

p-Ethoxycarbonylbenzoyl chloride is prepared according to the method of M. J. Dewar and J. P. Schroeder, J. Org. Chem., 30, 2297 (1965), by the gradual addition of a small amount of ethyl alcohol to a boiling solution of terephthaloyl chloride in benzene. After removal of the solvent the residue is distilled under reduced pressure to give the acyl chloride which boils at 102°-105° C. at 0.4 mm.
