HCID 182669Acetyl chloride, 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-Yield 99%

Procedure

A mixture of 30.0 gm (0.176 mole) of o-chlorophenylacetic acid and 40.0 mL of thionyl chloride was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The volatiles were then removed in vacuo to give 32.76 gm (99.0%) of o-chlorophenylacetyl chloride as a transparent, pale yellow, mobile liquid.

Workup

  1. customThe volatiles were then removed in vacuo
