Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Mix 2-amino-5-nitro-phenol (10.0 g, 64.9 mmol) and NaHCO3 (13.1 g, 155.7 mmol) in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one (40 mL) and water (40 mL). Cool the mixture to 0° C. and slowly add chloroacetyl chloride (6.0 mL, 75.3 mmol) with stirring. After the addition is complete, reflux the mixture for 5 h. Cool the mixture to room temperature and let stand for 2.5 days. Collect the light yellow solid, wash with water and dry in a vacuum oven at 80° C. for 3 h.
