Procedure

4-Bromo-2,2-diphenylbutyric acid (compound (F), 23 g, 72 mmol) was suspended in 150 mL of chloroform, and 20 mL of thionyl chloride (270 mmol) was added dropwise. After addition of the thionyl chloride, 0.2 mL of dimethylformamide was added, and the resulting solution heated at reflux for about 4 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 4-bromo-2,2-diphenylbutyric acid chloride (compound (G) as a pale yellow oil that was used int the following step without further purifiction.
