Reaction Steps

A third example is described in Research Disclosure (1997), 402 (Oct) P706 (No. 40221), (CA 127:294925h). This reference teaches the multi-step reaction of 3-trifluoromethylaniline sequentially with a) aqueous sulfuric acid, b) aqueous sodium nitrite, c) aqueous acetaldoxime, d) cuprous sulfate and sodium bicarbonate and e) hydrochloric acid to form 3-trifluoromethylacetophenone in 70% yield. However, the overall volume efficiency of this process scheme is very low.
