Trichloroisocyanuric Acid → 2-(1-Chloroethyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 107.16 g (1 mole) of 2-ethyl-pyridine in 400 ml of ethylene chloride was heated at reflux while adding in portions 150 g (0.65 mole) of trichloroisocyanuric acid (min. 90% available chlorine) over 5 hours and the mixture was stirred for another 2 hours and then cooled and vacuum filtered.
