Reaction Steps

A mixture of 15.0 g (0.10 mole) tartaric acid, 29.32 g (0.24 mole) 3,4-diaminotoluene, 25 ml water, 15 ml ethanol, 25 ml hydrochloric acid (conc.) and 10 ml 85% phosphoric acid was heated at 120° C. for 40 hours, poured into water and the mixture acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. After extraction with chloroform and making the aqueous phase alkaline with sodium hydroxide, a precipitate formed and was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with a small amount of acetone and held in vacuo for 18 hours. The residual moisture was removed by azeotropic distillation of its mixture with benzene.
