Participants

Reaction Steps

A cold solution of 18.9 g of 3,4-dichlorobenzaldoxime in 150 ml of chloroform was treated with chlorine gas until no more chlorine was absorbed. The green mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 5°, then heated under reflux for 30 minutes, when the solid went into solution and the clear green solution changed to yellow. The solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a white solid, m.p. 104°-106°, which was used without further purification.
