Abstract
An improved process for the manufacture of herbicidal 2-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone by cyclizing 3-chloro-N-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanamide with an alkaline or alkaline earth hydroxide at a pH of 7.5 to 9.5, benzylating the resulting 4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone, eliminating by-product 1-[(2-chlorophenyl)methoxy]-3,3-dimethyl-2-azetidinone by contacting the product mixture with anhydrous hydrogen chloride, and further benzylating free isoxazolidinone with base.
