Reaktionsschritte

500 ml of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride were placed at 0° C. in a stainless steel laboratory autoclave and 1000 g of 2,6-dimethylphenyl chloroformate were added dropwise. The autoclave was then sealed and heated at a maximum temperature of 110° C. for 2 hours, the pressure of the gases formed being released at 30 bar. The reaction mixture was worked up as described in Example 9. Distillation gave 2,6-dimethylfluorobenzene in a yield of 11% and 2,6-dimethylphenyl fluoroformate in a yield of 68%. The latter can be added to a new batch for the preparation of 2,6-dimethylfluorobenzene (see Example 15).
