Reaction Steps

79.0 g (0.33 mole) of 1-beta-hydroxyethylamino-2-nitro-4-amino-5-chlorobenzene were dissolved in 150 ml methylglycol and 36 g (0.5 mole) ethylenechlorohydrin. 19.8 g of NaOH dissolved in 180 ml water were then added while stirring over a period of 3 hours at a bath temperature of 130°C. The final product was removed by suction after cooling and was recrystallized from water. Yield: 35 g 1,4-di-(beta-hydroxyethylamino)-2-nitro-5-chlorobenzene; m.p.: 127°-128°C. Analysis: C10H14N3O4Cl
