Reaction Steps

600 g of 3-chlor-4-bromaniline hydrochloride were suspended in 2500 ml chlorobenzene and the entire mixture was heated to 150°C to 160°C with vigorous stirring. About 1.25 kg of phosgene was introduced at this temperature; after about 10 to 16 hours all the hydrochloride had disappeared. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was rectified in vacuo. In this way 650 g of 3-chloro-4-bromo-phenylisocyanate, boiling at 122°C to 123°C at 12 mm Hg, were obtained.
