Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred solution of 50% NaOH (20 mL) was added 3,5-dichloronitrobenzene (38.4 g, 200 mM) and the resulting solution was heated at 60° C. Zinc dust (15 g, 230 mM) was added in portions in such a way as to maintain the reaction temperature between 70° and 80° C. The resulting slurry was then diluted with 12 mL of 50% NaOH followed by 35 mL of water. An additional amount of zinc dust (20 g, 310 mM) was added in a single portion and the resulting suspension was heated to 70°-80° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and the solid obtained was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to 1/2 the original volume. An orange solid precipitated which was removed by filtration and discarded. The filtrates were diluted with hexane which caused a precipitate. This was then filtered, providing the titled compound as a yellow solid (11.3 g, 35%). NMR (d6 -DMSO): 8.38 (s, 2H), 6.82 (s, 2H), 6.67 (s, 4H). MS(CI): 323(M+1).
