Abstract

Amino 5 nitrophenol was synthesized using o aminophenol and urea as raw materials through cyclocondensation,nitration and alkaline hydrolysis in turn.Factors influencing the reactions were studied.The overall yield was 80%.The optimum conditions are as follows.In cyclocondensation, o aminophenol and urea (molar ratio 1.00∶1.05) reacted at 115 ℃ for 1.5 h.Nitration was carried out at 40 ℃ for 2 h with HNO\-3 and H\-2SO\-4,and alkaline hydrolysis at 105 ℃ for 2.5 h.The product was characterized by IR.This new method, o aminophenol urea method,is facile,of low cost and lacking in wastes.The overall yield of conventional process is only 36%-53%.
