Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture made from 10 g (49.5 mmol) of 2-bromo nitrobenzene, 13 g (163 mmol) of sodium acetate and 10 g (59 mmol) of 4-bromo aniline was stirred with heating at the temperature of 180° C. under the atmosphere of nitrogen gas for 8 hours. The reacted solution was cooled down to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered. After concentrating the filtrate, and by washing the residue with methanol 3.8 g of (4-bromophenyl)-(2-nitrophenyl) amine was obtained as orange crystals (yield: 22%).
