Sodium Acetate → HCID 12874007, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 120 parts of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitro-5-nonylbenzene, 2 parts of zinc chloride solution, 83 parts of sodium acetate and 480 parts of methanol is hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 5 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen is taken up, the catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in water and the solution is alkalized with ammonium hydroxide. The product is extracted with 2,2'-oxybispropane. The extract is washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is distilled, yielding 59 parts of 2-nonylbenzenamine; bp. 131°-132° C. at 0.2 mm pressure.
