Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-chloro-5-nitrophenol (34.0g, 0. 18 mole) was slurried in ethyl acetate (250 ml). 3,4-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride (38.g, 0.18 mole) was added and the reaction mixture refluxed for 2 h. After cooling, the beige precipitate was filtered then slurried in hot ethyl acetate (200 ml). Filtration gave the product as a beige solid, 50.5 g, (77%), mp.263-265° C.
