Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.9 g (0.02 mole) of the above prepared 4-(2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2,5-dichlorobenzeneamine in 100 ml toluene was placed in a 500 ml 3-necked round bottom flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser and 5.5 g (0.03 mole) of 2,6-difluorobenzoyl isocyanate was added while stirring. The temperature rose from 23° to 34° C. in a few minutes. The mixture was heated under reflux while stirring for one hour giving a clear solution which was cooled in an ice water bath. The toluene was removed by evaporation in a rotary evaporator and 25 ml acetic acid and 5 ml water were added to the residue. The resulting mixture was heated to boiling, giving a clear solution, cooled in an ice water bath and suction filtered. The filter cake obtained was washed with a little cold aqueous acetic acid and dried at room temperature. Weight, 8.5 g of white solid. m.p. 177°-179° C. The structure was verified by NMR.
