Reaction Steps

The product (10 g) from paragraph (a) was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (150 ml), cooled to 5°-10° C. and concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 ml) added dropwise, the temperature being kept at 10°-15° C. The mixture was then kept at 5° C. while sodium nitrite (5.2 g) in water (20 ml) was added dropwise with stirring over a period of 30 minutes. The solution so prepared was added dropwise to a solution of cuprous chloride (19 g) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (150 ml) kept at 10° C., giving a thick green suspension. When addition was complete, the mixture was left to stand overnight and then heated to 60° C. for 30 minutes. The white solid was filtered off, dried, and recrystallised from petroleum (100°-120° C.) to give 3(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (5.1 g) with a melting point of 143°-144° C. This compound was used as starting material for compound No. 19 of Table 1.
