Methanol → HCID 19858589, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8 g of N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]-4-amino-n-butyric acid are dissolved in 50 ml of methanol and then 10 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid are slowly added. The reaction mixture is left to stand for some hours, then poured onto ice, made alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with toluene. The toluene extract is washed with water until neutral and substantially concentrated in vacuo. The residue is crystallised from hexane, affording 6 g of methyl N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]-4-amino-n-butyrate with a melting point of 60°-62° C.
