Tin tetrachloride → HCID 44139769, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 12.3 g (50 mmol) of 4-phenoxy-2,5-dimethylnitrobenzene in 150 ml of dioxane and 150 ml of hydrochloric acid was admixed at room temperature with 34.1 g (151 mmol) of tin chloride. After 10 h of stirring at room temperature, the mixture was neutralized with aqueous NaHCO3 solution and extracted repeatedly with dichloromethane. Drying of the combined organic phases over Na2SO4 and evaporation of the solvent gave 7.9 g (99.5% purity, 73.2% yield) of the product; log P(HCOOH)=1.92.
