Chlorosuccinimide → HCID 9991307, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

19.2 g of isopropyl 2,6-dimethylbenzoate are initially charged in 100 ml of carbon tetrachloride admixed at room temperature with 13.3 g of N-chlorosuccinimide and 200 mg of AIBN. The mixture is heated to reflux for 3 h. After the mixture has been cooled, it is filtered with suction, and the succinimide is washed with 20 ml of carbon tetrachloride. The filtrates are combined, and carbon tetrachloride is distilled off in vacuo. 21.8 g of colorless liquid are obtained. The product is distilled under high vacuum (0.05 mbar, 94–97° C.). Yield: 13.9 g (61% of theory; 93.6 area %).
