3,4-Dimethoxybenzoyl chloride is a chemical compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. It is an enantiomerically pure homophthalic acid chloride with a melting point of 9°C. The synthesis of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride involves reaction of carbon disulphide and pyridine with chloroacetyl chloride. This reaction occurs at room temperature and produces a white solid product. The reaction can be reversed to produce the starting materials by reacting 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid and potassium hydroxide in aqueous solution.
