Participants

Reaction Steps

A 9.0 g. portion of potassium hydroxide of the grade described in the examples above was combined with 50 ml. of butanol, and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. To it was added 5 g. of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethane, and the mixture was stirred under reflux at 115° for 7 hours. It was then cooled to ambient temperature overnight, and worked up substantially as described in Example 4 above to obtain 3.9 g. of product, 96% pure by vapor phase chromatography. The product was distilled at 155°-162° under 0.35 torr to obtain 3.4 g. of purified product.
