2-Chloroaniline → HCID 13138307, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the known compounds 2-chloroaniline (6.3 g., 0.05 mole) and 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzoic acid (12.3 g., 0.05 mole) was refluxed overnight with 11 g. of potassium carbonate and 0.5 g. of copper-bronze in 125 ml. of ethanol. The ethanol was then removed by evaporation and the residue suspended in water. After filtration, the filtrate was acidified. A solid slowly crystallized, providing the compound 2-(2-chloroanilino)-3-nitrobenzoic acid, m.p. 213°-215° C.
