Aniline → Suberanilic Acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

Suberic acid (Compound 1, 174.2 g, 1.0 mole), aniline (Compound 2, 85.8-94.9 g), and toluene (0.1-0.2 L) are combined, heated to reflux and refluxed for a minimum of 60 hours. The reaction is quenched at reflux by adjusting the pH to ≧11 with 10% sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous phase is separated. The organic layer is combined with toluene (0.11-0.13 L) and water (0.3-0.4 L), and the aqueous layer is separated. The aqueous layers from the extractions and toluene (0.11-0.13 L) are combined, settled, and then separated. The aqueous layer is extracted twice with toluene (0.2-0.3 L) at 60-70° C. The aqueous layer is adjusted at 20-30° C. to a pH of 5.8-6.2, using hydrochloric acid and 10% sodium hydroxide solution as needed. The batch is filtered, washed with chilled water (0.2-0.3 L) and then washed with chilled isopropanol. The wet cake is dried at a maximum of 65° C. under vacuum to yield suberanilic acid.
