Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(3-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (8 g), 2,4-dichloroaniline (10.6 g), cupric oxide (0.8 g) and potassium carbonate (5.4 g) was stirred for 3 hours at 200° C. Ethyl acetate (100 ml) was added to the mixture, stirred and filtered. The filtrate was washed with water, dried and evaporated to dryness. The oil (15.5 g) was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (150 g) eluting with toluene to give an oil of 2-[3-(2,4-dichlorophenylamino)-4-nitrophenyl]-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (9.7 g).
