1. The chlorination of 2-amino-^-xylene (acetyl derivative) at the freezing point of glacial acetic acid yields a monochloro derivative. The location of the chlorine atom at Position 5 was proved by converting the compound into 2,5-dichloro-terephthalic acid. The hydrochloride is described.2. A dichloro derivative is obtained if the chlorination is carried out at a slightly higher temperature, 18-20°. 3. A series of new azo dyes was obtained by coupling the monochloroxylidine with: phenol, resorcinol, thymol, 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, 2naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, 1 -naphthol-5-sulf onic acid and 1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-disulfonic acid.Chapel Hill, North Carolina [Contribution prom the Department op Chemistry of Iowa State College] 2-CHLOROMETHYL-FURAN FROM 2-FURANCARBINOL
The product so prepared melted at 231-233°. It was insoluble in ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and benzene. It crystallized from hot 95% ethyl alcohol in beautiful lemon yellow needles having a final melting point of 288.5°.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
