Reaktionsschritte

A stirred solution of methyl 5-chloro-2-nitro-benzoate (17.0 g., 0.079 mole) and the potassium salt of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (18.6 g., 0.079 mole) in dimethyl sulfoxide (100 ml.) was heated at 90°C for 17 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with water (500 ml.) and then extracted with ether (3 × 100 ml.). The combined ether fractions were washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution (2 × 30 ml.) and then with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The ether solution was dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent evaporated to give a dark oil. Two crystallizations (petroleum ether) gave 1.91 g. of a pale yellow solid, m.p. 101°-103°C.
