Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution containing 4-amino-3-nitro phenol (1.09 g, 7.07 mmole), benzylbromide (1.28 g, 7.5 mmole and cesium carbonate (2.43 g, 7.5 mmole) were stirred for 4 days at room temperature. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (500 ml), stirred 1 hour, and the resultant solid was filtered and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (1.1 g, 64%).
