After the starting material had disappeared (as indicated by thin layer chromatography, TLC), this solution was washed with aqueous sodium sulfite and the solvent was removed. The white solid obtained was slurried in ether (250 ml) and pyridine (8.0 gm) was added. The mixture was stirred for about 1 hour and then filtered to remove solids. The mother liquor was washed sequentially with cold 1% hydrochloric acid (25 ml), sodium bicarbonate (50 ml), water and brine. The solvent was removed after drying over magnesium sulfate and 28 gm of 2-(3',5'-dichlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-5-chloro-5-dichloromethyloxazoline was obtained.
