Procedure
1-Nitro-4-(2-phenoxy-ethoxy)-benzene is reduced and the resulting amine is heated in acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid and nitrated with 70% strength nitric acid. 1-Acetamido-2-nitro-4-(2-phenoxy-ethoxy)-benzene is obtained in 90% yield (melting point: 104° to 106° C.). The amide is hydrolysed with potassium hydroxide in ethanol and the desired nitroamine is obtained in 98% yield (melting point 121° to 123° C.).
