Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Concentrated HCl (100 ml, 32%, 1.0 mole) was charged to a 500 ml flask under a nitrogen atmosphere and cooled down to −2 to 0° C. 2-Chloroaniline (16 ml, 19.4 g, 0.15 moles) was added and the reaction mixture was re-cooled to −2 to 0° C. Sodium nitrite (12.6 g, 0.18 moles) dissolved in water (30 ml) was added dropwise to the acidic mixture through an addition funnel over a period of 40 minutes at −2 to 0° C. The resulting mixture (yellow suspension) was stirred for 1 hour at −2 to 0° C. L-Ascorbic acid (27 g, 0.15 moles) was then added in portions as a solid over a period of 45 minutes at −2 to 0° C. The reaction was allowed to come to room temperature (18-20° C.), then heated to 40° C. and stirred for 3 hours at this temperature. The resultant slurry was cooled to room temperature (18-20° C.) and water (100 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred for 16 hours at 20-25° C., cooled and stirred at 0-2° C. for 1 hour, then filtered and the solid was washed with water to afford 94.5 g of wet 2-chlorophenylhydrazido oxalic acid.
