Nitric Acid → 4-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-6-trifluoroacetylamino-2H-1,4-benzoxazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 22.0 g 4-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-trifluoroacetylamino-2H-1,4-benzoxazine in 100 ml acetic acid, was added dropwise a solution of 3.7 ml fuming nitric acid in 50 ml acetic acid, and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for two hours. The reaction mixture was poured into 600 ml ice water, the crystals which separated out were collected by filtration, and recrystallized from 100 ml ethanol, giving 21.6 g of 4-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-6-trifluoroacetylamino-2H-1,4-benzoxazine.
