Reaktionsschritte

In a nitrogen atmosphere, 51 g (0.33 mol) of phosphorus oxychloride (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were added dropwise to 88 ml of cooled dimethylformaldehyde (DMF). The dropping rate was adjusted so as to keep a temperature of 2° C. to 4° C. at the time of dropping, and stirring was further continued for 30 minutes at 2° C. after the completion of dropping. To this mixture, a 70-ml dimethylformamide solution of 54.8 g (0.33 mol) of N,N-dimethyl-3-nitroaniline (manufactured by Tokyo Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was added dropwise such that the reaction temperature does not exceed 5° C.; and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours as it was. Thereafter, temperature was gradually raised, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for one night. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction liquid was poured into vigorously stirred 500 ml of ice water. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to about 8 with sodium acetate being added thereto, and the precipitated crystal was filtered out and dried, whereby 50.2 g of a crude product were obtained. This product was recrystallized from acetone/normal hexane, whereby 21 g of the aimed product were obtained (yield: 33%).
