    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply obtain the subject compound useful as the intermediate of a cyanide coupler for color photography in high purity. SOLUTION: This method for producing the 2,4-dichloro-3-ethyl-6-nitrophenol of formula I comprises sulfonating 4-chloro-3-ethylphenol of formula II with fuming sulfate (28-65% concentration) in an organic solvent (e.g. methylene chloride) preferably at 10-50 deg.C chlorinating the produced 5-chloro-4-ethyl-2- hydroxybenzene-sulfonic acid with chlorine gas in an aqueous solvent, converting the produced 3,5-dichloro-4-ethyl-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid into a sulfonic acid, depositing the sulfonic acid, and further nitrating the sulfonic acid with nitric acid or a nitrate.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the subject compound useful as an intermediate for cyan color developing agents for color photographs. CONSTITUTION:This compound, 2,4-dichloro-3-ethyl-6-nitrophenol, is obtained by the following process: 4-chloro-3-ethylphenol is sulfonated with conc. sulfuric acid into 5-chloro-4-ethyl-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid which is then chlorinated into 3,5-dichloro-4-ethyl-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid which is then nitrated with nitric acid. In this process, it is characteristic that an organic solvent is used as the sulfonating solvent and the amount of the conc. sulfonic acid to be used in this sulfonation is 1.5-3.5 molar times that of the 4-chloro-3- ethylphenol.
