Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline (5.0 g) in dimethylformamide (25 ml) was added 24% sodium methoxide in methanol (11 ml) and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 4 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The extract was washed with 20% aqueous sodium chloride solution and insoluble material was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the desired compound (4.8 g, yield 99%).
