Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate and 2 equivalents of phthalimide are ground together and heated to reflux with 2 equivalents of 1,2-dichloro-3-chloromethyl-4-nitrobenzene for three hours. Upon cooling, the substituted benzylphthalimide crystallizes and is filtered in 60-80% yield. 2,3-Dichloro-6-nitrobenzylamine is obtained in a 75-95% yield with acid hydrolysis using hydrochloric acid from the substituted benzylphthalimide.
