Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

166 g (0.65 mol) of the 1,4-bisacetylamino-2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzene prepared according to C. are heated at 98° C. together with 812 ml of water and 240 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid (36% strength), and the reaction mixture is stirred at this temperature for one hour. The mixture is then first cooled to 60° C., the pH is brought to 7.5 with 25% strength aqueous ammonia solution and the mixture is further cooled to 5° C. The product is now filtered off, washed twice with 75 ml of water each time and dried.
