Procedure

2.5 mols (165 ml ) of chlorosulphonic acid are placed in a one-liter reaction vessel equipped with a stirring system, a thermometer and a dropping funnel and the acid is cooled to about 0° C with a mixture of ice and salt. 0.8 mol (100 ml) of 2-nitroanisole is added drop by drop and the solution is then allowed to come back to room temperature; after a contact time of 30 minutes, the reaction mixture is poured onto one fifth of its volume of crushed ice. The sulphonyl chloride precipitates in the form of an oil; this is extracted with chloroform. After evaporation of the organic phase, the sulphonyl chloride is crystallized in a benzene/petroleum ether mixture.
