Reaction Steps

A mixture of 52.4 gm of 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-1-nitro-benzene, 122 gm of phenol and 60 gm of potassium carbonate was heated for 11/2 hours at 160° C. Thereafter, the still hot reaction mixture was stirred into 1.2 liters of 2 N sodium hydroxide, and the precipitated product was collected by suction filtration and recrystallized from 300 ml of ethyl acetate. 70.5 gm (93.8% of theory) of the title compound, m.p. 164° C., were obtained.
