I am trying to synthesize 2,3 - Dichloro Benzoyl Chloride starting from Chloro benzoyl chloride or from Benzoyl Chloride itself.
What can be the possible route of synthesis / chlorination to achieve maximum yield of 2-3 Dichlorobenzoyl Chloride ? Further, what would be the catalyst required to ensure maximum yield in 2-3 position ?
I would be highly obliged if someone could guide me on this or refer me to some available literature on the matter.
