Diethylamine → HCID 12902435, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (15 g) and diethylamine (15 g) were added to ethanol (100 ml) and the mixture was stirred at a refluxing temperature for 1 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Diisopropyl ether was added to the residue to allow crystallization. The crystals were recrystallized from hydrous ethanol to give 5-nitro-2-diethylaminobenzonitrile (15.6 g), melting point: 98° C.
