Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cold solution of 2,6-dichloroaniline (10.0 g, 61.72 mmol) in conc. HCl was added aqueous solution of sodium nitrite (5.11 g, 74.00 mmol) at −15° C. The reaction mass was stirred at 0-10° C. for 15 minutes. The reaction mass was filtered off to remove insolubles and stannous chloride in conc. HCl (34.7 g, 150 mmol) was added to the filtrate. The reaction mass was further stirred at −15° C. for 30 min and filtered to afford 15.00 g of the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 7.18-7.28 (m, 1H), 7.39-7.52 (m, 2H), 10.30 (br s, 3H); MS (m/z): 176.90 (M)+.
