Nitric Acid → HCID 20446969, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled (0°-5° C.) mixture of 110 parts of concentrated nitric acid solution and 314 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid solution are added dropwise 60 parts of 1,2-dichloro-4-nonylbenzene. Upon completion, stirring is continued for 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction mixture is poured onto crushed ice and the product is extracted with 2,2'-oxybispropane. The extract is washed successively with water and a sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 70 parts (100%) of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitro-5-nonylbenzene as an oily residue.
