To a solution of p-nitrotoluene (2.74 g; 0.02 mol) and diacetamide (4.24 g; 0.04 mol) in concentrated sulfuric acid (20 ml) is added aqueous formaldehyde (37%; 1.6 g; 0.02 mol) dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 17 hours, heated to 55° C. for 8 hours and then to 85° C. for 19 hours. The mixture is then poured onto ice. The resulting colorless precipitate is removed by filtration and recrystallized from aqueous ethanol to give 2.7 g of product (65% yield) having a melting point of 133° to 137.5° C.
