Reaktionsschritte

In a beaker is dissolved 300 mg (1.95 mmol) of recrystallized 5-amino-2-nitrophenol in 2 ml 5N HCl and 1 ml of THF, and the solution is cooled to 0° C. In a separate beaker are combined 2 g sodium acetate, 4 ml of acetic acid and 287 mg (1.95 mmol) of N-methyl-N-allylaniline and the resulting suspension is cooled to as near 0° C. as possible. NaNO2 (140 mg) dissolved in 1 ml of water is added to the first beaker dropwise over 15 minutes while keeping the temperature of the solution below 0° C. When all the sodium nitrite has been added, the solution is stirred for 10 minutes and the contents of the first beaker are added to the second beaker slowly with stirring. After 30 minutes, the contents of the flask are poured into 30 ml of ice water and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution is added until the foaming stops. The organics are extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to yield 600 mg of N-methyl-N-allyl-4-(4'-nitro-3'-hydroxyphenylazo)aniline, as a dark red viscous oil.
