In a 500-ml. flask were mixed 138 g. (0.60 mole) of freshly prepared 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride and 57.5 g. (0.61 mole) of 2-chloro-1-propanol (prepared from propylene oxide; b.p. 70.3°/75 mm.). The reaction mixture was heated gradually to about 120° over a period of about 45 minutes, then to 140° for another 10 minutes. The mixture was cooled and poured into 500 ml. of dilute potassium carbonate solution, stirred until the mass solidified, collected by suction filtration and washed; weight, 167 g. (96% yield), m.p. 67—73°. Three recrystallizations from ethanol gave 100 g., m.p. 78.0—78.3°.
Anal. Calcd. for C10H9O6N2Cl: C, 41.59; H, 3.14; N, 9.70; Cl, 12.30. Found: C, 41.66; H, 3.19; N, 9.77; Cl, 12.30.
