Procedure

A solution containing 8.0 kg of 5-nitrovanillin and 8.7 kg of acetic acid in 35 kg of conc. hydrobromic acid was refluxed for 20 h. 0.6 kg of charcoal was added and the mixture was filtered. 32 kg of water was added with stirring and the solution was cooled to -10° C. and stirring was continued for 2 h more. The crystalline product was filtered and washed with water. Yield 5.66 kg (80%), m.p. 135°-137° C.
