Anisole → HCID 353540, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1200 ml of anisole and 800 ml of THF were added 69.7 g (0.254 mole) of 2,7-dinitrodibenzodioxin and 22.2 g of 10% palladium/carbon and hydrogen gas was passed through the mixture with stirring at room temperature for 8 hours. The 10% palladium/carbon was removed by filtration, then a precipitate containing the 10% palladium/carbon was collected by filtration, and the precipitate was rinsed with THF. The rinsings were concentrated and dried under reduced pressure to give 25.0 g (0.117 mole, 46.0% yield) of 2,7-diaminodibenzodioxin. The product showed a purity of 98.1% (HPLC, 254 nm).
