The 3-position ortho to both the hydroxyl and amino groups is reactive. Bromination or chlorination in cold glacial acetic proceeds instantaneously to form the 3-bromo tXV) or 3- chloro (VI) derivatives in high yield. Diazotized aromatic amines couple readily to yield the corresponding azo compounds and reaction with benzaldehyde (or formaldehyde) proceeds smoothly as in the case of m-aminophenol to give a dipyrido-pyridine derivative (XVI). ...
