| production method | is obtained by nitration of methyl benzoate. The concentrated sulfuric acid was added into the dry reaction Pan, cooled to 0-10 °c, methyl benzoate was slowly added, and then the mixture of fuming nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid was added dropwise, and the temperature was controlled to 5-15 °c. After addition, the reaction was carried out at 15 °c for 1H. Cooling, adding ice precipitation of M-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester. After filtration, the oily substance was washed with alcohol and washed with water to obtain a finished product. The yield was 80%. |
