HCID 889692-Methoxybenzoyl chloride

Procedure

To 30 g of 2-anisic acid in 500 mL of round-bottom flask was added dropwise 50 mL of thionyl chloride. After all of the thionyl chloride was added the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Excess thionyl chloride was then distilled off by water aspirator and the remaining liquid was vacuum distilled (82°/0.7 mm Hg). Desired 2-methoxybenzoyl chloride was obtained as a colorless liquid, 32 g.
