Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Hydroxy-4'-octylazobenzene

참여 물질

반응 단계

35 g (0.17M) of 4-octylaniline was cooled below 0° C. and 85 g of 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was added thereto. To the mixture was then added dropwise an aqueous solution of 12.0 g of sodium nitrite in 68 ml of water while cooling the mixture so as not to exceed 0° C. After the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was transferred into a dropping funnel and added dropwise therefrom into 170 g of an 8%-NaOH aqueous solution containing 16 g of phenol while the temperature was kept below 5° C. After the dropwise addition, stirring was continued for 1 hour, and thereafter a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was added until the pH reached 5-6 thereby precipitating the reaction product. The precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure overnight. The dried product was washed with 500 ml of petroleum ether and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 30.8 g (0.10M) of 4-hydroxy-4'-octylazobenzene. The yield was 59%.
