Abstract
A solution of sodium ethoxide is prepared under nitrogen from 70 g. (3.04 g. atoms) of sodium and 2 l. of absolute ethanol (Note 1) in a 3-l. three-necked flask which is equipped with mechanical stirrer, efficient reflux condenser, dropping funnel, and a thermometer which dips below the level of the liquid in the flask. Chloropicrin (100 g., 0.61 mole) (Note 2) is placed in the dropping funnel, and the stirred solution is heated to 58–60° with a water bath. The chloropicrin is added at a rate of 30–35 drops per minute until the reaction becomes self-sustaining (about 20 minutes), at which point the water bath is removed and the balance of the chloropicrin is added at a rate sufficient to maintain the temperature at 58–60° (Note 3). When the addition, which requires nearly 2 hours, is complete, the stirrer is stopped and the mixture is allowed to stand overnight.
