반응 단계

o-Vanillin (100.5 g, 660 mmol), acetic acid (504 mL) and N-chlorosuccinimide (83.8 g, 627 mmol) were mixed and heated to 105° C. over 30 minutes. A rapid exotherm from 55 to 105° C. occurred over 7 minutes. The mixture refluxed for a few minutes and was allowed to cool slowly to room temperature (2.5 h). Water (1 L, 2 volume equivalents) was added to the mixture slowly over 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes, filtered and the crude product air dried to afford 146.9 g of wet cake as a light yellow powder with 90% product, 3% o-vanillin and 7% dichlorovanillin Recrystallization from 200 g ethanol afforded 61 g (52% yield).
