Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2,4,5-trichloroaniline (2.48 g, 12.6 mmol) in H2O (5 mL), cooled to 0° C., conc. HCl (7.5 mL) was added, and then stirred for 20 min. NaNO2 (0.87 g, 12.0 mmol) dissolved in water (5 mL), was added slowly and the reaction was continued at 0° C. for 1 h, filtered and the filtrate was used further. In another setup, ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate (2.0 g, 12.0 mmol) was added to 5N NaOH (0.56 g) and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., conc. HCl (1.2 mL) was added slowly, stirred for another 45 min. to obtain 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid which was added to the filtrate (prepared above) at 0° C. The resulting yellow solid precipitate was filtered, air dried to give the title compound (1.7 g, 44%) which was used in the next step without any spectroscopic analysis.
