This mixture was heated to 65° C. and three additional aliquots of sodium nitrate (2.90 g, 34.1 mmol) were added after 5, 22, and 30 h. Each aliquot caused about a 20° C. temperature rise, with the temperature stabilizing again at about 65° C. The solution was heated for an additional 14 h after the last addition. The clear orange solution was cooled to room temperature and poured into water (500 mL), washing the residue from the reaction flask with water (5×40 mL). The aqueous suspension was allowed to cool to room temperature. The suspended solid was collected on a frit, washed with water (2×50 mL), and dried. This cream colored solid was heated at reflux in acetic acid (100 mL) containing acetic anhydride (10 mL) for 2 h and cooled to room temperature. The solid was collected on a frit, washed with acetic acid (25 mL) and ether (2×25 mL), and dried to give 18.31 g (91%) of the nitro compound as a cream colored solid: mp 268°-269° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 8.05 (dd, 1H, J=8.0, 4.4 Hz), 8.97 (dd, 1H, J=8.0, 1.5 Hz), 9.11 (d, 1H, J=2.2 Hz), 9.33-9.40 (m, 2H), 10.16 (d, 1H, J=2.2 Hz); MS (CI, CH4) m/e (%) 295 (M+H+, 100), 265 (6), 250 (5).
