Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis of 2-ethoxy-4-nitrophenol using three types of nitrification synthesis schemes with 2-ethoxyphenol as main reactant. The comparison of the reaction conditions, reaction time, the quantity of the reaction byproducts, yield and post-treatment of the reaction product among these three synthesis schemes is made. It concludes that Ferric nitrate is the optimal catalyst for nitrification. Finally, melting point test and infrared characterization were conducted for the products. It shows that the product contains 2-ethoxy-4-nitrophenol and the yield is 55.48%.
