| production method | is obtained by methoxylation and reduction of 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene. 1. Methoxylation molten 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene was added to the reaction pot followed by addition of methanol. After heating to about 40 °c, 30% sodium hydroxide solution was added quickly and then slowly in 4H, and the temperature was controlled at 58-60 °c. The end point of the reaction was that phenolphthalein test paper exhibited orange-red color to the liquid. 2, 4-dinitrophenyl methyl ether was obtained with a yield of 95%. 2. Reduction the methoxylated product was cooled to 30 °c and a 18% solution of sodium disulfide was added quickly and then slowly over a period of 4H. The reaction temperature was increased from 30 °c to 50 °c by degree. After the addition, the mixture was incubated at 50-55 ° C. For half an hour. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to 20 ° C., press-filtered, washed and dried to obtain 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline. The yield was 76%. |
