1-Chloro-4-nitrobenzene → N-[(4-methoxy) phenyl]-N'[4-nitro phenyl] ethylene diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 0.1 mole (223 g) of N- β-aminoethyl paraanisidine and 0.447 mole (70.6 g) of parachloronitrobenzene is heated for 5 hours at 120°. After cooling the reaction mixture is poured into a liter of water and drying yields a crude product. This product after recrystallization in chlorobenzene, produces 80 g of N- [(4-methoxy) phenyl] - N'[4-nitro phenyl] ethylene diamine, which melts at 150°.
