Procedure

A 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid derivative (e.g. sodium 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzenesulfonate) or a 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid derivative (e.g. sodium 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonate) is reacted with 4-chloronitrobenzene in the presence of an alkali (e.g. sodium hydroxide), followed by hydrogenation using palladium-carbon, to give the corresponding 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether derivative. This is diazotized using sodium nitrite under acidic conditions in the presence of hydrochloric acid, followed by reaction with sodium azide, to give the desired product.
