Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

67.4 g (0.19 mol) of 72.2% pure 3,6-dichloro-2-methylbenzyl bromide is initially charged in 280 ml of acetonitrile. At 0-5° C., a solution of 54.0 g (0.46 mol) of N-methylmorpholine N-oxide and 280 ml of acetonitrile is added over a period of 25 min, and the mixture is stirred at 0-8° C. for 1 h. The precipitate is filtered off with suction and taken up in 280 ml of acetonitrile, and 250 g (0.42 mol) of 20% strength NMO in acetonitrile are then added at 40° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 1 h and concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue is taken up in 250 ml of methylene chloride and the mixture is washed three times with 250 ml of water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 32.9 g of a product which is 92.6% pure.
