Dimethylformamide → 3-(Methanesulfonyl)benzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

DMF (0.4 mL) and oxalyl chloride (1.90 g) were added to a solution of 3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid (2.00 g) in CHCl3 (including amylene, 40 mL) in a nitrogen gas flow under ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a crude product as a yellow solid, which was used in the subsequent reaction.
