Abstract
Nitration of 2,6-dimethyl-(p-toluenesulpho) anilide or 2,6-dimethyl-benzenesulphoanilide in aqueous acetic acid, followed by deacylation, gives 2,6-dimethyl-4-nitroaniline in yields of 80-90%. These and other procedures are discussed. The rate of deacylation of 2,6-dimethyl-4-nitroacetanilide in sodium methoxide solution is in agreement with the considerable steric inhibition of mesomerism to be expected.
