2, 4-aminotoluene is replaced by 2, 4-chlorotoluene in the presence of sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite by diazotization reaction and cuprous chloride, the latter is oxidized with potassium permanganate to obtain 2,4-= chlorobenzoic acid potassium salt, and then acidified with hydrochloric acid to obtain 2,4-chlorobenzoic acid. The reaction product is crystallized, washed and dried to obtain a finished product.
This product can be used as an intermediate of dye, bactericide, drug (antimalarial drug, non-mercury mud drug, etc.).
