Procedure

15.3 g. (0.1 mole) of o-nitrobenzyl alcohol is dissolved in 200 ml. of chloroform in a glass bomb tube. The tube is cooled in an ice bath and phosgene is introduced until 20 g. has been condensed. The tube is sealed and heated at 65° C. for 4 hours. The solvent and excess reagent are then removed by distillation and the product, o-nitrobenzyl chloroformate, is obtained as a yellow oil.
