HCID 123841765-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoyl chloride

Procedure

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (0.24 g, 1.3 mmol) and thionyl chloride (5 mL) was warmed to reflux and was allowed to stir for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted with 10 mL toluene. The reaction mixture was again concentrated under reduced pressure and was again diluted with 10 mL toluene. This concentration and dilution was repeated and the crude product was used without further purification.
