Nitric Acid → 4-Ethyl-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol

참여 물질

반응 단계

A solution of fuming nitric acid (12.1 ml; s.g. 1.5) in glacial acetic acid (120 ml) was added in one portion to a stirred solution of 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol (41.7 g) in dry dichloromethane (800 ml). After 1 minute the solution was washed with water (3×300 ml), and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo to give an orange crystalline residue. This was recrystallised from a mixture of methanol and water to give 4-ethyl-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol (31.3 g), m.p. 59°-61° C.
