Reaction Steps

2.96 ml of SOC12 is added at 0° C., under an inert atmosphere and dropwise to 10 g of 3,5-dinitro-4-chlorobenzoic acid (JANSSEN) in 150 ml of methanol and agitation is carried out under reflux of methanol for 2 hours then for 15 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction medium is poured into ice and precipitation of the product is observed. After drying, 10.3 g of expected product is obtained.
