Reaktionsschritte

A suspension of 96.0 g. of aluminum chloride and 135 ml. of methylene chloride is stirred and treated with a mixture of 60 ml. of methylene chloride, 63 ml. of acetyl chloride, and 77.4 g. of 2-nitrobiphenyl. The mixture is heated at reflux for three hours and cautiously poured into 1200 g. of ice and 900 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is extracted with methylene chloride. The extract is washed with water and aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent removed to give a dark oil. This is stirred with 200 ml. of ether and the resulting solid recovered and washed with 1:1 ether:Skellysolve B; yield 53.50 g., m.p. 106°-109°. For analysis a sample is recrystallized from ether; m.p. 108°-111°.
