Reaktionsschritte

Seventy-one parts of liquid chlorine were added to a solution of 140 parts of 2'-fluoroacetanilide in 500 parts glacial acetic acid, during one hour, at 25°-27°, with ice-water cooling. While stirring for 4 hours at 25°-27°, 4'-chloro-2'-fluoroacetanilide precipitated. After collecting the product by filtration, the filtrate was poured over 2000 parts ice. The resulting second portion of precipitated product was collected by filtration, combined with the first portion and recrystallized from 700 parts of methanol at -45° to yield 119 parts of 4'-chloro-2'-fluoroacetanilide as white crystals melting at 152°-155°.
