Procedure

About 143 g of phenol (an amount that should lead to an equivalent amount of pentachlorophenol product, by moles, obtained when about 300 g of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is used) were added to a reactor at 60° C. with 0.75 g of AlCl3 (about 0.25 wt. % based on trichlorophenol). The same stirring rate (100-120 RPM) and chlorine flow rate (1.5 mol/hr) as experiments that started with trichlorophenol were used.
