Reaktionsschritte

In a 100 ml flange flask fitted with a distillation bridge and anchor stirrer, 14.5 g (0.25 mol) of potassium fluoride, 4.8 g (0.007 mol) of trimethyl(ethoxypolyoxypropyl)ammonium chloride, 6.2 g (0.012 mol) of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether 500 and 2.4 g (0.007 mol) of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide were introduced at 100° C. into the melt of 47.5 g (0.25 mol) of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile. Subsequently, 10 g (0.09 mol) of xylene were added and the reaction suspension was azeotropically dried by application of a vacuum of 20 mbar and heating to 130° C. After the xylene had been distilled off, the reaction suspension was heated to 140° C. and stirred for 8 hours at this temperature. Amount of 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile formed:
