Isopropylamine → HCID 12767710, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 10.0 grams (0.04 mole) of 3,6-dichloro-2,4-dinitrotoluene in 50 ml. of ethanol is added 9.0 grams (0.15 mole) of isopropylamine. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then at reflux for one hour. The solution is allowed to cool to room temperature and the crystalline precipitate is filtered and washed with a little hexane to give 10.2 grams of golden crystals, melting point 69° C. to 73° C. Two recrystallizations from methanol give the analytically pure compound, melting point 69° C. to 70° C.
