Abstract
Abstract An improved process for preparing 2-fluoronitrobenzene by reacting 2-chloronitrobenzene with ultra-fine particulate potassium fluoride in tetramethylene sulfone with a macrocyclic ether or a quaternary ammonium halide catalyst. 2-fluoronitrobenzene is an intermediate useful in the preparation of certain known herbicides.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A process for preparing 2-fluoronitrobenzene which comprises heating a mixture of 2-chloronitrobenzene potassium fluoride of particle size 1-20 microns and a catalyst in sulfolane for 2-8 hours at 240°-250° C wherein the molar ratio of 2-chloronitrobenzene to potassium fluoride to sulfolane is 1 : 1.1-1.5 : 0.3-1.0.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
