Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.4 g (0.03 mol) of N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethylmaleic acid imide and 500 mg of platinum oxide (PtO2) in 100 ml of ethyl acetate is hydrogenated with hydrogen at room temperature under normal pressure. After about 5 hours, when the absorption of hydrogen has ceased, the catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness. 7.9 g (85% of the theoretical yield) of an almost colourless oil which is uniform in a thin-layer chromatogram are obtained as residue and crystallised from isopropyl ether. The cis-N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-succinimide so obtained has a melting point of 101°-102°.
