Reaction Steps

A solution of 4- bromobenzoic acid (0.113 moles) and thionyl chloride (45 ml) in carbon tetrachloride (100 ml) was heated at reflux for 3.5 hours. Solvent and excess thionyl chloride were removed under reduced pressure and the crude 4-bromobenzoyl chloride was used in subsequent reactions without further purification. ##STR6##
