Reaction Steps

A mixture of 100 g (0.497 mole) of 4-bromobenzoic acid and 100 g of thionyl chloride in 300 ml of dichloromethane containing a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at reflux for two days. The low boiling liquid were then removed by evaporation, and the remaining liquid was distilled to provide 4-bromobenzoyl chloride.
