Reaction Steps

To 170 ml. of methylene chloride saturated with chlorine and maintained at 0° C. were added 8.3 grams (49 mmoles) of sodium phthalimide. The resulting mixture was warmed to 20° C. and was stirred for 1.5 hours. The resulting precipitated sodium chloride was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to afford 8.0 grams (90% yield) of N-chlorophthalimide.
