Participants

Reaction Steps

To 50 g (370 mmol) of anisaldehyd in 160 ml of isopropanol 51 g (370 mmol) of para-nitroanilin are added. After 2 h at 80° C. the product precipitates. The reaction mixture cooled to room temperature and filtered. The residue is washed with isopropanol. After drying 62.9 g of product 2 is obtained (yield of 66%) in form of yellow crystals: C14H13N2O3 (257.27).
