Conditions

Temperature: 80 °C

Procedure

4-Bromo-2-methoxybenzoic acid (2.934 g, 12.70 mmol) was mixed with sodium carbonate (2.2 g, 26.51 mmol). Thionyl chloride (20 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 16 hours. After distilling off excess thionyl chloride, heptane was added and the solid was collected by filtration to give 4-bromo-2-methoxy-1-benzenecarbonyl chloride (3.16 g, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.94 (s, 3H), 7.16 (s, 1H), 7.20 (d, J=8.51 Hz, 1H), 7.95 (d, J=8.51 Hz, 1H).
