Reaction Steps

172 parts of 5-chloroanthranilic acid are introduced into 550 parts of 45 percent strength by weight sulfuric acid and 600 parts of isopropanol. A solution of 100 parts of sodium nitrite in 140 parts of water is run in at 80° C. over 6 hours; nitrogen is evolved. The mixture is cooled, 1,500 parts of water are added and the product is filtered off. 140 parts (89% of theory) of 3-chlorobenzoic acid of melting point 151°-153° C. are obtained.
