Participants

Reaction Steps

Iron 60 mesh (106.3 g, 1.9 mole), water (450 cc), ethanol (500 cc) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (29.5 cc) were heated to reflux under a nitrogen blanket. Then 2-prop-1-en-oxynitrobenzene (89.6 g, 0.57 mole) was added at reflux over a period of 2 hours. The reaction was maintained at reflux over a period of 2 hours. The reaction was maintained at reflux for an additional 3 hours. The pH was adjusted to 7-8 by the addition of concentrated ammonium hydroxide. The reaction mixture then was filtered at 30° C., and the filtrate was washed with 200 cc of ether. The filtrate was extracted with 4×50 cc of ether and the combined ether extracts were subjected to rotary evaporation. The crude product was fractionally distilled at 110°-112° C. at 4.5 mm. Hg to yield 50.1 g (67.2%) of product.
