Reaction Steps

A mixture of 19.2 gm (0.1 mol) of 2,4-dinitrophenol (96%), 12.4 gm (0.05 mol) of 1,4-dibromo-butan-2,3-diol, and 6.9 gm (0.05 mol) of potassium carbonate was refluxed for six hours in 20 ml of diethyleneglycoldimethyl ether. After cooling, the product was removed by suction, washed with water, and dried. The intermediate obtained melted at 207°-210° C.
