4-Aminophenol → Phenol, 4-[[2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.0 g of p-aminophenol was dissolved in 60 ml of isopropyl alcohol. To the solution was added 6.0 g of 4-chloro-3-nitro-benzotrifluoride and the resulting solution was heated under reflux for 12 hours. After the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was dissolved in benzene. The resulting solution was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation. Thus, 7.5 g of the desired product was obtained.
