Ammonia → 4,5-Diiodo-2-nitrobenzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared from 3 gms. of 1,2-dinitro-4,5-diiodobenzene in 150 ml. of ethanol. Gaseous ammonia was passed into the solution while heating to refluxing temperature. This procedure was continued until TLC indicated that all starting material had reacted (about 8 hours). The volume of the solution was then reduced to 1/3 of the original volume and the solution was cooled. 2-nitro-4,5-diiodoaniline formed in the above reaction precipitated and was collected by filtration; mp=196°-7° C.; yield=1.70 g.
