Reaction Steps

to a suspension of 7-bromoheptanoic acid (1.7 g, 8.13 mmol) obtained above in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) were added oxalylchloride (2.13 mL, 24.39 mmol) and a catalytic amount of DMF. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was removed by evaporation in vacuo to give 1.84 g (100%) of the 7-bromoheptanoyl chloride as a yellow solid.
