- Process for the preparation of 4,6-diaminoresorcinol
-
4,6-diaminoresorcinol can be prepared in a plurality of steps in such a way that a) 1,3-dichlorobenzene is nitrated with a mixed acid of HNO3, H2 SO4 and SO3 at 0 to 40° C. in anhydrous H2 SO4, b) the resulting 1,3-dichloro-4,6/2,4-dinitrobenzene isomeric mixture is first reacted with benzyl alcohol in the presence of a strong base at -15° C. to +15° C. and then at 20° to 40° C. to give the dibenzyloxy compound and c) the 1,3-dibenzyloxy-4,6-dinitrobenzene isomer arising in pure form in b) is converted to the 4,6-diaminoresorcinol by catalytic hydrogenation.
