3-Aminophenol → HCID 18504430, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of adipoyl chloride (5.5 g, 0.03 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF, 50 mL) is added dropwise to a magnetically stirred solution of 3-aminophenol (13.0 g, 0.12 mol) in 150 mL of THF. A precipitate forms after 10-15 minutes and is collected by filtration, washed with water, washed with a mixture of water and tetrahydrofuran and recrystallized from an ethanol/water mixture. Analysis of the resulting 8.86 g of white solid indicates it to have the following structure: ##STR2##
