Nitric Acid → 2-Bromo-1,3-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene

참여 물질

반응 단계

Fuming nitric acid (>90% yellow fuming HNO3) is slowly added to a solution of 2-bromo-m-xylene (20 g, 150 mmol) in acetic acid (100 ml) cooled in an ice bath (above freezing point). The resulting mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred for 1 hour, and heated at 80° C. for 2 hours or until the reaction is shown to be complete by GC/MS analysis following micro-scale base work-up. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and poured into ice/water with stirring. The resulting yellow precipitates are collected by suction filtration and air dried to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-3-nitrobromobenzene.
