반응 조건

반응 단계

5-Amino-2-chlorobenzoic acid (85%, 10 g, 49.7 mmol) was suspended in diluted sulphuric acid (1.25%, 800 mL) and cooled to 5° C. on an ice bath. Sodium nitrite (5 g, 72 mmol) dissolved in water (150 mL) was added slowly while keeping the temperature of the reaction below 5° C. After addition of the sodium nitrite the reaction was stirred for another 45 min at 5-10° C. until a clear solution was obtained. The reaction mixture was poured into hot (70-85° C.) water (1.5 L), charcoal added and the reaction mixture heated at reflux for 25 min. Filtration and extraction with ethyl acetate afforded 6.7 g of the desired product as light brown crystals.
