Nitric Acid → 2,4-Dichloro-5-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

40 ml of concentrated nitric acid are added dropwise to 34 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid, while cooling in ice and stirring. 20.9 g of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluorobenzoic acid are introduced in portions into this nitration mixture, during which the temperature rises to 45°-50° C. The mixture is then heated at 90°-100° C. for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature, and poured onto 350 ml of ice-water, and the precipitate is filtered off with suction and washed with water. The moist crude product was dissolved in 30 ml of hot methanol, and 150 ml of H2O are added to the solution. The precipitate is cooled, filtered off with suction, washed with CH3OH/H2O and dried in vacuo at 80° C. 21.2 g of crude 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid are obtained. It is sufficiently pure for the subsequent reactions. A sample recrystallized from toluene/petroleum ether provides crystals of melting point 192° C.
