Production method | is obtained by diazotization and hydrolysis of 2-bromo-4-methylaniline. Add dilute sulfuric acid to 2-bromo-4-methylaniline, stir and cool, add sodium nitrite aqueous solution below 5°C, keep the temperature below 5°C, and then add cold water, urea and crushed ice to obtain diazonium salt solution. Then anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated sulfuric acid and water are heated, diazonium salt solution is added in batches at 130-135 ℃, and then water is added in batches for distillation. The resulting distillate is extracted with ether, washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, and then dried by anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate is evaporated to ether to obtain the finished product. Another method is direct bromination of p-cresol in chloroform solvent. |
