Abstract

have come only from reduction of the 3-nitrochlorobenzene, and the only possible reducing agent is dimethylformamide. There is no precedent for such a reduction in the literature. We hope to do further work on this reaction. The reaction to give dinitrophenyl ethers does have certain limitations. The sodium phenoxide may not be substituted for the potassium salt and the potassium salt may not be prepared in situ from potassium hydroxide and the phenol, ...
