Abstract
The chloromethylation of N-phenylpyrrolidone proceeds at the paraposition of the benzene ring. The reactivity of the chloromethyl group in reactions with ammonium thiocyanate, potassium ethylxanthate, sodium acetate, thiourea, potassium phthalimide, urotropine, sodium thiosulfate, and potassium permanganate was investigated. A number of previously undescribed compounds, of which some were found to be active pesticides, were synthesized.
