Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Nitroresorcinol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4-Diamino-1,3-dimethoxybenzene hydrochloride may be prepared according to known processes such as, for example, by reduction of 2,4-dinitro-1,3-dimethoxybenzene with a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and tin. 2,4-Dinitro-1,3-dimethoxybenzene is obtained by alklyation of 2-nitroresorcinol, which leads to 2-nitro-1,3-dimethoxybenzene which is then nitrated. 2,4-Dinitro-1,3-dimethoxybenzene is thereby obtained. This process is described in more detail in BAKER, J. C. S, 2876-78 (1932).
