Reaktionsschritte

A mixture comprising 5.70 g (0.03 mol) of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluorobenzonitrile, 3.48 g (0.06 mol) of spray dried KF and 30 ml of dimethylsulfoxide, was reacted at a temperature of from 140° to 150° C. for 3.5 hours in a glass reactor. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into ice water (50 ml) and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract was washed five times with water and then dried. Then chloroform was distilled off. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 3.57 g (yield: 68.6%) of 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile. Boiling point: 105°-107° C./37 mmHg; melting point: 35°-37° C.
