Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out as described in Example 1. PCBTC (230 g, 1.0 mol), ammonium chloride (56.2 g,1.05 eq), and p-chlorobenzoic acid (11.5 g) were charged to the reactor. The mixture was heated at 215° C. for 9 h. Distillation of the reaction mixture gave PCBN (122.4 g, 89%, melting point: 92°-93° C.).
