Dimethyl Sulfate → p-tert-Butylanisole

Participants

Reaction Steps

More specifically, the process for producing N-sec-butyl-4-tert-butyl-2,6-dinitroaniline comprises reacting 4-tert-butylphenol with dimethyl sulfate to produce 4-tert-butylanisole. The 4-tert-butylanisole is then reacted with nitrating agent to produce 2,6-dinitro-4-tert-butylanisole. The 2,6-dinitro-4-tert-butylanisole is then reacted with sec-butylamine to produce N-sec-butyl-4-tert-butyl-2,6-dinitroaniline.
