Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.38 g (0.01 mole) p-nitroaniline in 10 mL of acetone was added a solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid (2.375 g, 0.0125 mole) in 10 mL of acetone at room temperature. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. and the product was isolated by filtration. The yield was 2.49 g (80% of theory) of a pale yellow solid.
