Conditions: temp:15.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To 925 g of 3,4-difluorotoluene prepared in Example 15 were added 17 g of shaving steel and 2.5 g of ferric chloride, and then chlorine gas was injected at the rate of 10.0 l/hr for 19 hours, maintaining the temperature between 15° C. The reaction mixture was washed with 10%/ aqueous sodium sulfite and water. After drying with 32 g of calcium chloride, the resultant was purified by fractional distillation to give 980 g of the desired product as a colorless liquid, collecting at temperature of 156° C. The reaction mixture was washed with 10%/ aqueous sodium sulfite and water After drying with 32 g of calcium chloride the resultant was purified by fractional distillation

Procedure: As shown in the above reaction, a mixture of 4-chloro-1-methyl-4,5,5-trifluorocyclohexene (IIIa) and 5-chloro-1-methyl-4,4,5-trifluorocyclohexene (IIIb) is prepared by reacting chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) (I) and isoprene (II) at temperature range of 390 to 480° C. through continuous vapor phase condensation in a flow reactor and distilling the resultant. The mixture is dehydrohalogenated in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide and a phase transition catalyst to form 3,4-difluorotoluene (IV). The 3,4-difluorotoluene is reacted with chlorine gas in the presence of catalysts consisting of ferro-shaving and ferric chloride at temperature range of -10 to 40° C. without using any organic solvent to form 2-chloro-4,5-difluorotoluene (V). The 2-chloro-4,5-difluorotoluene is photo-reacted with chlorine gas under a lighting mercury lamp at temperature range of 80 to 140° C. without using any organic solvent to form 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzotrichloride (VI). The 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzotrichloride is reacted with aqueous acid solution at temperature range of 35 to 80° C. without using any organic solvent to give 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoic acid (VII). The 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoyl chloride (VIII) according to the present invention is prepared by reacting 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzotrichloride (VI) with zinc oxide.
