Abstract

4, N, N-Trimethyl-3-nitrobenzenamine gave reductive denitration products (ca. 28%) upon treatment with n-butyl nitrite in the presence of catalytic amounts of ammonium chloride and water in an unprecedented one-reagent single-pot process. The three isomeric N, N- dimethylnitrobenzenamines showed the same behaviour to a much lesser extent; the ortho isomer was partially (7%) transformed into 1-methylbenzotriazole. Key words: aromatic ...
