66 g of resorcinol are added to 220 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide. With stirring, 37.4 g of potassium hydroxide (powder) are added, whereupon the temperature rises to 55° C. The mixture is kept for 30 minutes at 60° C. and the 51.6 g of 2,5-dichlorobenzonitrile are added in portions. The reaction mixture is then stirred for 7 hours at 90° C. and, after cooling, poured into ice-water. The pH is adjusted to 6 with conc. hydrochloric acid and initially a brown oil precipitates, which soon becomes crystalline. Crystallisation from ethanol/-water yields 49.6 g of 3-(2'-cyano-4'-chlorophenoxy)-phenol with a melting point of 118°-120° C.
