Reaction Steps

268 g of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzotrichloride were added to the distillation residue (approximately 20 g) and 2.7 g of iron(III) chloride were added. The mixture was reacted with formic acid in a similar manner to a). 198 g (93% of theory) of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride were obtained.
