Participants

Reaction Steps

With cooling with ice, fuming nitric acid (25 ml) was dropwise added to an acetic acid (100 ml) solution of N-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)acetamide (I-259) (10.0 g, 59.8 mmol), taking 50 minutes. After the addition, then restoration to room temperature and stirring for 23 hours, the reaction liquid was poured into ice.
