Reaction Steps

The sodium salt of 4-chloro-3-[(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)methoxy]phenol as prepared from 20 g of 4-chloro-3-[(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)methoxy]phenol and 16 g of a 28% methanol solution of sodium methylate was dissolved in 300 ml of water and the solution was added dropwise to a solution of 5 ml of trichloromethyl chloroformate in 100 ml of chloroform while maintaining the reaction temperature at 10° C. or below. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for phase separation. The chloroform layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was then distilled off. There was obtained 22.5 g of 4-chloro-3-[(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)methoxy]phenyl chloroformate.
