Ammonia → Indoaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.02 mole (2.46 g) 5-amino 2-methyl phenol and 0.02 mole (2.85 g) chloroparaphenylene diamine are dissolved in 200 cc water to which have been added 50 cc ammonia 22° Be. To this mixture there is added, little by little with agitation, 0.04 mole (13.16 g) potassium ferricyanide. The reaction mass is then filtered on a suction filter and a yield of 5 g of said indoaniline is obtained. After recrystallization in a pyridine and water mixture, the said indoaniline recovered melts at 120°.
