Abstract
Abstract N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide of uniform grain size is produced either by reacting 2,3-dichloromaleic acid, an anhydride or an ester thereof with 4-fluoroaniline in an aqueous medium or by dehydrative-cyclization of either N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleamic acid or 4-fluoroanilinium 2,3-dichloromaleate in an aqueous medium. The N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide of uniform grain size provides improved fungicidal activity and is convenient for preparing an agricultural fungicidal composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
In a process for the preparation of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide by reaction of a first reactant selected from the group consisting of 2,3-dichloromaleic acid, 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride and esters of 2,3-dichloromaleic acid with 4-fluoroaniline as a second reactant or by dehydrative-cyclization reaction of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleamic acid or 4-fluoroanilinium-2,3-dichloromaleate, the improvement characterized by conducting the reaction in water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
In a process for the preparation of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide by reaction of a first reactant selected from the group consisting of 2,3-dichloromaleic acid, 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride and esters of 2,3-dichloromaleic acid with 4-fluoroaniline as a second reactant or by dehydrative-cyclization reaction of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleamic acid or 4-fluoroanilinium-2,3-dichloromaleate, the improvement characterized by conducting the reaction in water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of said water is 2 to 20 times by weight based on the weight of 4-fluoroaniline and the N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide is prepared from said first and second reactants.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of said water is 2 to 20 times the weight of the reactants and the N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide is prepared by dehydrative-cyclization of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleamic acid or 4-fluoroanilinium 2,3-dichloromaleate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said reaction is carried out by reacting said first reactant with 4-fluoroaniline in a mole ratio of 1.3:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said reaction is conducted in two stages at different temperatures and wherein the N-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dichloromaleimide is prepared by reacting said first reactant with 4-fluoroaniline.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
The process of claim 5 wherein the first stage of said reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of from room temperature to 60° C and the second stage of said reaction is subsequently carried out at a temperature in the range of 60° C to reflux temperature.
