Thionyl Chloride → p-Tetradecyloxyphenylacetylchloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.0 g. p-tetradecyloxyphenylacetic acid in 100 ml. absolute benzene is treated with 19.9 g thionylchloride and refluxed for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture is then evaporated under vacuum (i.v.) and azeotroped several times with benzene to remove residual thionylchloride, to obtain crude p-tetradecyloxyphenylacetylchloride, which may be used in Step E, below, without further refining.
