Participants

Reaction Steps

To 14.2 g of N-(1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide were added 100 ml of dichloromethane, 0.1 g of N,N-dimethylformamide and 7.2 g of thionyl chloride, and the reaction was effected while stirring under reflux for three hours. Excess thionyl chloride was distilled off together with the solvent under reduced pressure to obtain 15.1 g of N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide.
