Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of 2-tert-butyl-5-nitroaniline (1.94 g, 10 mmol) in 40 mL of 15% H2SO4 was added dropwise a solution of NaNO2 (763 mg, 11.0 mmol) in water (3 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0-5° C. for 5 min. Excess NaNO2 was neutralized with urea, then 5 mL of H2SO4—H2O (v/v 1:2) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 5 min. Three additional 5 mL aliquots of H2SO4—H2O (v/v 1:2) were added while heating at reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and extracted with EtOAc twice. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography (0-10% EtOAc-Hexane) to give 2-tert-butyl-5-nitrophenol (C-1-a) (1.2 g, 62%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.76 (dd, J=8.6, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.41 (s, 1H), 1.45 (s, 9H); HPLC ret. time 3.46 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run.
