Reaction Steps

13.7 g of o-nitrotoluene, 38.8 g of chlorobenzene, 0.24 g of conc. H2SO4 and 19.8 g of 47% strength aqueous hydrobromic acid were mixed at 62° C. in a 250 ml stirred apparatus, 2.32 g of 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) were added and, while stirring vigorously, 11.6 g of peroxyacetic acid (32% strength) were added dropwise in small portions over the course of 25.5 hours.
