Acid to Acid Chloride
Common Conditions:
SOCl2
Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is commonly used to convert carboxylic acids to acid chlorides. Conditions typically involve stirring the substrate in neat SOCl2 at reflux for several hours. Sometimes a solvent is used (ex. ACN).
(COCl)2
Oxalyl Chloride [(COCl)2] is also commonly used to convert carboxylic acids to acid chlorides. The process typically involves stirring the substrate in DCM at RT with (COCl)2 and a catalytic amount of DMF.
