Reaction Steps

Into a 3 necked round bottom flask is placed 49.47 grams of 4-chlorotetrahydrophthalic anhydride, 20.26 g activated carbon (NORIT CA-1) and 200 ml of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. The flask is fitted with an air inlet tube, a stirrer, and an addition funnel-condenser to collect water and allow the reflux to return to the flask. The flask was heated and raised to 230° C. with a constant flow of air. The reaction was conducted for eight hours. The carbon was removed by filtration and washed. The contents was concentrated under vacuum and analysis confirmed a yield of 67% 4-chlorophthalic anhydride and 4% of unreacted starting material.
