Reaction Steps

4-Trifluoromethylphthalic acid (106.6 g.) and acetic anhydride (215 cc.) are heated at the reflux temperature for 30 minutes. After concentrating the mixture under reduced pressure (30 mm.Hg), the residue is stirred with cyclohexane (420 cc.). After filtration and drying, 4-trifluoromethylphthalic anhydride (73.5 g.), melting at 54° C., is obtained.
