Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The commercially available 4-methyl-2-nitro-phenylamine (40 g, 0.23 mol) was dissolved in 12N-hydrochloric acid (100 mL), to which sodium nitrite (16 g, 0.23 mol) dissolved in water (50 mL) was slowly added in drops at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. After lowering the temperature of the reaction mixture to 0° C., tin (II) chloride (132 g, 0.70 mol) dissolved in 100 mL of 12N-hydrochloric acid was slowly added in drops thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at 0° C. to room temperature. The resulting yellow solid was filtered, washed with a small amount of 6N-HCl, and dried to give the title compound (30 g, Yield 63%).
