Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (20 g, 118.9 mmol) in 500 mL CH2Cl2 was added thionyl chloride (21.2 g, 178.4 mmol), followed by 0.4 mL DMF. After stirring at rt for 8 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated to a white solid (azeotroped twice from benzene). This material was used as is in the next step.
