Sulfuric Acid → 2,3-Dichloro-4,5-difluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,3-dichloro-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile (1.0 g) in concentrated sulfuric acid (2.5 ml) was stirred at 90° to 100° C. for 30 minutes and then cooled. The residue was poured into ice water and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from benzene to give the title compound (0.51 g) as colorless needles, mp 153°-155° C.
