Procedure

13.8 G (0.2M) of solid sodium nitrite were slowly added to stirred concentrated sulfuric acid at 0° C. The resulting thick mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 mins. A suspension of 68.28 G (0.175M) of finely powdered 2,6-diiodo-4-nitroaniline in 175 mL of glacial acetic acid was added portionwise cautiously to the above mixture at 0° C. over a period of 25 minutes. This mixture was then stirred 30 mins, and then added to a vigorously stirred suspension of 4 G of cuprous oxide in 420 mL of absolute ethanol over a period of 25 minutes. Vigorous effervescence was observed during this addition. The resulting mixture was stirred 20 mins. at room temperature and then heated to reflux for 30 mins. After cooling, this reaction mixture was poured into large amount of ice. Solid separated was filtered, and washed with water. This solid was dissolved in minimum amount of chloroform, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Solvent removal gave 62 G of 3,5-diiodo-nitrobenzene as light yellow solid.
