Procedure

In a 2-liter flange flask fitted with a distillation bridge and impeller stirrer, 290.5 g (5.0 mol) of potassium fluoride, 71.1 g (0.1 mol) of trimethyl(ethoxypolyoxypropyl)ammonium chloride and 17.0 g (0.16 mol) of tetramethylammonium chloride were introduced at 120° C. into the melt of 630 g (4.0 mol) of 2-chloronitrobenzene. Subsequently, 100 g (0.38 mol) of xylene were added and the reaction suspension was heated to 150° C., the xylene was removed under reduced pressure and the mixture was stirred for 21 hours at this temperature. Subsequently, the reaction suspension was cooled to 70° C. and filtered with suction. The salts separated off were washed twice with a total of 360 g of xylene and the combined organic 35 phases were fractionated. 417 g (74% of theory) of 2-fluoronitrobenzene were isolated. Amount of 2-fluoronitrobenzene formed, according to GC analysis:
