Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid 16 (150.0 g, 744 mmol), 1,3-phenylenediamine 17 (150.0 g, 1.387 mol), anhydrous potassium carbonate (309.0 g, 2.236 mol ), copper powder (2.0 g, 31.5 mmol), cupric sulfate (10 mg) and water (2.0 L) was heated to reflux with stirring for 6.25 hr under argon. It was then allowed to stand overnight at room temperature. Glacial acetic acid was added to the reaction mixture with stirring until pH 5 and the flask cooled in ice water. The mustard yellow solid was collected, washed with ice-cold water (3×100 mL), and redissolved in hot dilute ammonia (300 mL 0.88 s.g. ammonia and 2.7 L water). Charcoal (2.0 g) was added, the mixture refluxed briefly, and then filtered through a fluted paper. On cooling to room temperature the mixture was acidified to pH 5 by adding glacial acetic acid and the flask cooled in ice-water. The product was collected and washed with ice-cold water (2×100 mL) followed by ice-cold ethanol (2×100 mL), dry ether (2×100 mL) and finally hexane (100 mL). The product was dried over P2O5 under vacuum to yield the product AR-ACO-06 (155.10 g, 76%) as brown solid.
