Reaction Steps

The dinitro derivative from Example 1 (10g) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (1.51) and refluxed. To the refluxing solution, stannous chloride dihydrate (50g) in 50ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was slowly added over fifteen minutes. After the addition was complete, the reflux was continued for another fifteen minutes. Upon cooling, a dark grey precipitate appeared. This was filtered off, washed with water, boiled in 100ml of 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide and washed with water again. During the washing process, the precipitate turned from grey to orange. To further purify the material, it was refluxed in pyridine with decolorizing charcoal, filtered through Whatman No. 2 paper, and was crystallized from 40% aqueous pyridine. Analysis proved the material to be 4,4'-diamino-p-terphenyl.
