1,2-Benzenedicarbonitrile, 4-nitro- → 4-Phenoxyphthalonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 35 was followed except that 1,2-dicyano-4-nitrobenzene (1.0 part) was used in place of the 1,2-dicyano-3-nitrobenzene, 1.0 parts instead of 2.79 parts of sodium phenoxide and 20 parts instead of 50 parts of dimethylformamide were used. 1,2-Dicyano-4-phenoxybenzene (0.6 parts, 49%) was obtained as a white solid, m.pt. 98°-100° C.
