Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5.00 g of 4-pentafluorosulfanylphenol (prepared in example 11a) were dissolved in 100 ml of acetic acid and a chlorine gas stream was passed through at 0° C. for 10 minutes. This warmed the solution to 30° C. which was subsequently stirred at RT for a further 90 minutes. Argon was used to drive the chlorine out of the solution and the solvent was subsequently removed under reduced pressure. 5.50 g of a pale yellow oil were obtained.
