A solution of 274 g (2.6 mol) of n-butyl nitrite (97%) and 300 g (2.0 mol) of 3-nitro-o-xylene (97%) in 750 ml of dimethylformamide is cooled to from −55 to −60° C., and a solution of 522 g (4.56 mol) of potassium tert-butoxide in 750 ml of dimethylformamide is added dropwise at this temperature over a period of 2.5 hours. During the addition, the color of the solution changes from yellow to deep red and the solution becomes viscous. The reaction is monitored by HPLC. For work-up, initially 300 ml of water are added and then about 300 ml of glacial acetic acid, until the pH has reached 5-6. During the addition, the temperature increases to −10° C., and a yellow suspension is formed. The reaction mixture is then poured onto 6 kg of ice-water and the residue that has formed is filtered off with suction, washed with 5 l of water and dried in a drying cabinet at 30° C. overnight.
