Participants

Reaction Steps

Iodine (1 g) and 50 mL of acetic acid were mixed together, 2.53 g of 50% phosphoric acid was added thereto, and the mixture was heated with stirring to reflux. Subsequently, a mixture composed of 3.2 g of (4-amino-2-chlorophenyl)-(4′-chlorophenyl)methanone and 15 mL of acetic acid were added dropwise to the mixed solution. This solution was heated under reflux for 134 hr, was then cooled and was poured into water. Ethyl acetate was added to the mixed solution followed by separation and washing with brine. The ethyl acetate layer was concentrated to give 3.0 g of 3-chloro-4-(4-chlorobenzyl)aniline (yield 100%).
