Nitric Acid → 2-Ethyl-6-nitrophenol

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred mixture of 130 ml of ether, 130 ml of water and 10.0 g of 2-ethylphenol was added dropwise 6.7 ml of 61% nitric acid, and the reaction was continued with stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was extracted with 300 ml of ethyl acetate and washed with a brine, and then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by subjecting to silica-gel column-chromatography [eluent: chloroform]to give 5.75 g of 6-ethyl-2-nitrophenol.
