摘要:
A 2-(2-halogenoethylthio)-phenylsulfonamide of the formula I ##STR1## in which Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 independently of one another are hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, is prepared by a process wherein:a) a 2-halogenophenylsulfonamide of the formula II ##STR2## in which X is fluorine, chlorine or bromine, is converted, in the presence of a base, together with a mercaptan of the formula IIIR-SH (III) in which R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl substituted by phenyl, into a 2-sulfenylphenylsulfonamide,b) this compound is oxidized to give the 2-sulfinylphenylsulfonamide,c) the resulting 2-sulfinylphenylsulfonamide is converted, in the presence of an acid, into the disulfide of the formula VI ##STR3## d) the disulfide of the formula VI is reduced to the 2-mercaptophenylsulfonamide,e) this compound is then converted, by means of a trialkylamine of the formula X(R.sub.1).sub.3 N (X) in which R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, into the 2-mercaptophenylsulfonamide trialkylamine salt, andf) this compound is then reacted with a halogenofluoroethane of the formula IXY-CH.sub.2 CFZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 (IX) in which Y is chlorine or bromine and Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 independently of one another are hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine.
