Water → N-Methyl-o-phenylenediamine

関与物質

反応手順

A mixture composed of 15.2 g (0.1 mol) of N-methyl-2-nitroaniline, 24 g of reduced iron, 0.8 g of ammonium chloride, 20 ml of water and 200 ml of isopropanol was stirred with heating at about 100° C. for 30 minutes in a 1 liter 3 necked flask. The reaction solution was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product of N-methylphenylenediamine. The compound was dissolved in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, to which was added 8.7 g (0.11 mol) of pyridine and to which was added dropwise 36 g (0.1 mol) of tribromoacetyl bromide under cooling with ice. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then under heating on a steam bath for about 2 hours. The reaction solution was poured into about 500 ml of ice water and the crystals thus-deposited were collected by filtration to obtain 10.6 g of Compound (II-15). A melting point was 108° to 112° C.
