Molecular Formula | C8H10O3 |
Molar Mass | 154.16 |
Physical and Chemical Properties | Crystallization (benzene/ethyl acetate). Melting point 162 ℃. |
Use | an intermediate of rhododendron. |
production method | 2, 6-dimethylaniline is acetylated with acetic anhydride to produce 2, 6-dimethylacetanilide, it is then nitrated to give 2, 6-dimethyl-3, 5-dinitroacetanilide, which is reduced after removal of the acetyl group and then hydrolyzed to give the product. |
