Participants

Reaction Steps

Concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture of 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid (10 g) and granulated tin (20 g) cooled to 10°-15° C. The mixture was then heated to 60°-70° C. for 1 hour. Ethanol (100 ml) was added and the mixture heated for a further 2 hours at 60°-70° C. The precipitate was collected and recrystallised from ethanol to give the hydrochloride (3.8 g) with a melting point of 166°-168° C. with decomposition.
