3,4-Dichloro-α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (862 g. 4.0 mols) is added to a stirred mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid (4400 g.) and nitric acid (3400 g.) at 35° C. The mixture is stirred 70 minutes at 95° C. and allowed to separate. The oil layer is washed once with water and twice with 5% sodium carbonate solution, dried, and fractionally distilled to give 3,4dichloro-5-nitro-α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (188 g. 18%) b.p. 115°-118° C./15 mm, 88% pure.
