Procedure

6.7 g (22.0 mmol) of 4-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)toluene prepared in (a) was dissolved in 50 ml of chloroform, and 3.8 g (32.6 mmol) of chlorosulfonic acid was added dropwise at 0° C. with stirring. After further 3 hours of stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into about 200 ml of ice-cold water for separation. The organic layer was washed with water twice and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 7.2 g of 5-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (yield 81.0%).
