Participants

Reaction Steps

dinitrating said 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzotrifluoride organic layer with a fresh acid mixture of nitric acid, sulfur trioxide, and sulfuric acid to form 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride product, and a partially spent acid mixture containing a portion of said product dissolved therein, said fresh acid mixture containing sufficient nitric acid to effect said nitration and to provide for said mononitration upon recycling of said partially spent acid mixture back to step (a),
