Participants

Reaction Steps

In 75 ml. of ethanol was dissolved 3.2 g. (0.002 mole) of 2,6-difluoro-3-nitropyridine followed by 1.68 g. (0.02 mole) of sodium bicarbonate. To this stirred mixture, was added a solution of 2.74 g. (0.02 mole) of 3,4-(methylenedioxy) aniline in 50 ml. of ethanol dropwise over 45 minutes at room temperature. After one hour, 100 ml. of water was added and the deep-red crystalline solid product was collected. A small amount was crystallized from ethanol and melted at 161°-162° C.
