Several A-alkyl-2,4-dinitroanilines, which were obtained readily and in high yields by treatment of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene with the corresponding aliphatic amines, were oxidized with chromic acid in 12A sulfuric acid to the corresponding carbonyl compounds and 2,4-dinitroaniline in good to excellent yields. Treatment of 2,4-dinitroaniline with 12A sulfuric acid at 125°g ave an almost quantitative yield of 2,4-dinitrophenol. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to isolate the chromic acid amide of A-<-butyl-2,4-dinitroaniline.Neumann and Gould1 2 have studied in some de-
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.
