Properties and stability

Avoid contact with strong oxidants, acids, acid anhydrides, and acid chlorides.

Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, acid anhydrides and acid chlorides, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

Originated from chlorination of o-toluidine. A variety of chlorination methods are available. o-Toluidine hydrochloride uses chlorobenzene as the solvent and reacts with chlorine at 50-60°C to obtain 4-chloro-o-toluidine. It can also be obtained by acylation first, then chlorination and hydrolysis. Mix and stir o-toluidine and chlorobenzene, add acetic anhydride dropwise, stir and react at 70-80°C for 1.5 hours, cool, and pass chlorine at about 50°C. At this time, a large amount of white solid will suddenly be generated. Stop passing chlorine, add concentrated hydrochloric acid and water, stir and reflux for 2 hours at 95°C. Cool to room temperature and neutralize with alkali solution. The yield is over 70%. Another method is to react o-toluidine hydrochloride with a gas mixture of hydrogen chloride and oxygen (or chlorine and oxygen) in an acidic medium.

Purpose

Used as dye intermediates.
