反応手順

Nitration of 2-chloro-m-xylene. Nitric acid (90%, 50 mL) was cooled to −35° C. (ethanol-dry ice bath). 2-Chloro-m-xylene (10 mL) was added dropwise over 1 h keeping the temperature between −30° C. and −35° C. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice, stirred for 10 min, precipitate formed was collected by filtration, washed with water, dried. The crude product was purified on SiO2 (50 g), hexane-EtOAc (0 to 2% v/v). The product—yellow solid, 12.8 g, as a mixture of 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-4-nitro-benzene and chloro-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-benzene (4:1).
