Nitrobenzene → 1,4-Benzenediamine, N-(4-nitrophenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Nitrobenzene (2 ml, 0.02 mole) was added via a syringe to a stirring solution containing 1.08 g (0.01 mole) of 1,4-phenylenediamine, 3.6 g (0.02 mole) of tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate in 2 ml of dimethylsulfoxide under nitrogen at 70° C. The solution was stirred at such condition for 4 hours. An aliquot was taken out for LC, MS, LC-MS analyses. N,N'-(4-nitrosophenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine, N-(4-nitrophenyl)-N'-(4-nitrosophenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine and N,N'-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine were obtained.
