Participants

Reaction Steps

A degassed solution of 10 mmol of 5-chloro-2-hydroxynitrobenzene (starting material) and 40 ml of xylene are placed in an autoclave (volume: 200 ml).0.125 mmol of BINAS (in the form of 0.72 g of an aqueous solution containing 0.173 mol of BINAS/kg of solution) as phosphine and 0.6 g (15 mmol) of NaOH, 41 ml of H2O and 0.25 mmol of PdCl2 are added. The pH is from 10 to 11.
