Dichloromaleic anhydride → HCID 13073055, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

16.7 g (0.1 mole) of 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride is dissolved in 100 ml of dioxane, and a solution of 15.9 g (0.1 mole) of m-difluoromethoxyaniline in 30 ml of dioxane is added dropwise to it at room temperature over 20 minutes with stirring. Thereafter, the resulting solution is stirred at 70°-80° C. for 2 hours and the dioxane is then distilled off under a reduced pressure. Water is added to the residue to precipitate crystals. The precipitated crystals are filtered off and recrystallized to give 29.2 g (yield: 95%) of 2,3-dichloro-N-(m-difluoromethoxyphenyl)maleimide melting at 122°-124° C. in the form of light yellow plate crystals.
