1-Chloro-4-nitrobenzene → 1,4-Benzenediamine, N1,N1,N4,N4-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Such a diimonium compound can be synthesized, for example, as follows. That is, an Ullmann reaction product of p-phenylenediamine and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, is reduced to obtain N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(p-aminophenyl)-p-phenylenediamine which is then dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide, and an alkyl bromide is added thereto, followed by a reaction, for example, at 130° C. for 10 hours.
