Derivatives for Nitro Compounds. The important derivatives for mononitrocompounds are: (a) The nitro group is reduced to primary amino group.The primary amine obtained by reduction, can be diazotized and coupled as explained under preparation of derivatives for phenols.If aromatic primary amine is obtained by reduction,it can be diazotized and coupled with -naphthol in alkaline solution (b) Further nitration to get solid dinitro compounds (c) In the case polynitro compounds, they can be partially reduced to solid nitroanilines and hence partial reduction serves a method for the preparation of derivative for polynitro hydrocarbons.

It is then recrystallised from hot water, dried and melting point is determined. Note:(i)For nitrophenols,benzoylation does not proceed smoothly and hence nitrophenols are reduced to aminophenols and then benzoylation is conducted (methods of reduction and benzoylation already explained)to obtain dibenzoyl derivative.(ii) For nitroaniline, benzoyl derivatives can be prepared. 10.Derivatives for Amides. For amides other than urea,hydrolysis can be effected for the preparation of derivative. If the original compound is an aromatic amide, alkaline hydrolysis followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid gives a solid organic acid with definite melting point.In the case of aliphatic amides, the acid obtained after hydrolysis will remain in solution. In such case, the cold solution, when carefully neutralized and treated with sbenzylthiouronium chloride, deposits the thiouronium salt. Hydrolysis. About 1 g of aromatic amide is taken in a R.B flask fitted with a reflux condenser. About 10 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution is added. It is heated for about 30 minutes. It is cooled and acidified with conc. Hydrochloric acid. The precipitated acid is filtered at the pump, washed, recrystallised from hot water, dried and melting point determined. Derivatives for Urea (a) Urea nitrate. A concentrated solution of urea in about 1 ml of water is prepared. Then a few drops of conc. Nitric acid are added with shaking. White crystalline precipitate of urea nitrate separates. It is filtered at the pump, dried and melting point is determined. (b) Urea Oxalate. A concentrated solution of urea in about 1 ml of water is prepared. Then added a concentrated aqueous solution of oxalic acid in drop with shaking. White crystalline precipitate of urea oxalate separates. Filtered at the pump, dried and melting point is determined. Derivative for Thiourea. s- Benzyl thiouronium chloride. About 0.5 g powdered thiourea and 0.8 ml of benzyl chloride are added to one ml of 95% ethanol in a small R.B. flask or boiling test tube fitted with reflux condenser. The mixture is warmed on a water bath with gentle shaking until effervescence subside. Then the mixture is boiled under reflux for 30 minutes. The solution is cooled in ice bath when crystals of s-Benzylthiouronium chloride separate. Crystals are filtered at the pump, dried and melting point is determined. 11. Derivatives for Anilides. The following derivatives can hbe prepared: (a) Hydrolysis to the corresponding acid and amine(b) bromo derivative and nitration. (c) nitration. (a) Hydrolysis. Anilides undergo hydrolysis very slowly by alkalies and hence acid hydrolysis is usually employed. A bout 0.5 g of anilide is mixed with 5 ml of 70% sulphuric acid in a R.B flask or boiling test- tube fitted with a reflux water condenser.

The mixture is gently boiled for about 15 minutes. Then the solution is cooled and diluted with about 5 ml of water. By hydrolysis, acetanilide gives liquid acetic acid and liquid aniline. With the aniline obtained, solid derivatives can be prepared and their melting points determined.In the case of benzanilide, solid benzoic acid is obtained by hydrolysis. The solid is filtered, dried and melting point is determined. (b) Bromination. Little of the anilide is dissolved in acetic acid. Then bromine in acetic acid is added with shaking until brown colour remained. It is then poured into water. The precipitated p-bromo derivative is filtered at the pump, washed with water and dried. It is recrystallised from alcohol, dried and melting point determined. (c) Nitration. Anilides are nitrated by using 80% nitric acid at 00 c and then poured into ice cold water. Nitration leads to a mixture of o- nitroderivative and p-nitroderivative. Ortho- derivative is soluble in cold alcohol while para- derivative is insoluble. 12 Derivative for carbohydrates. Osazone. About 1 g of sugar is dissolved in 15 ml water and add 4 g of phenyl hydrazine hydrochloride, 4 g of sodium acetate and 1 ml glacial acetic acid. Heated for 15 minutes in a water bath. The osazone formed is filtered, washed with water and dried. It is then recrystallised from alcohol, dried and melting point is determined.

Multistep synthesis: Nitrobenzene -Aniline -acetanilide-p-bromoacetanilide-p-bromoaniline Nirtobenzene-m-dinitrobenzene-m-nitro aniline (using Na2S +S) 1. Preparation of m- dinitrobenzene from nitrobenzene Place 21mL of con. Sulphuric acid and 15 ml of con nitric acid in a 250ml round bottomed flask. Add a porcelain piece and attach the same to a reflux condenser. Heat the mixture gently and keep in fume chamber. Add slowly in small portions 12.5ml of nitrobenzene; and after each addition shake the flask to ensure through mixing. After complete addition of nitrobenzene, heat the mixture with frequent shaking, on a boiling water bath for half an hour. Cool the mixture, and pour cautiously with vigorous stirring into 500ml of cold water; the dinitrobenzene soon solidifies. Filter at the pump, wash thoroughly with cold water and allow draining as completely as possible. Recrystallize a portion from rectified spirit. Record the melting point. 2. Preparation of m-nitroaniline Prepare a solution of sodium polyslphide by dissolving 40g of crystallized sodiumsulphide (Na2S.9H2O), in 150 ml water by adding 10g of finely powdered sulphur, and warming until a clear solution is produced. Heat a mixture of 25g of m-dinitrobenzene and 200ml of water in a one liter beaker until the water boils gently. Stir the solution mechanically. Place the sodium

sulphide solution in a dropping funnel and clamp the funnel so that the end of the stem is immediately above the beaker. Add sodium polysulphide solution during 30-45 minutes to the vigorously stirred boiling mixture, and boil gently for a further 20 minutes. Allow to cool more rapidly by adding ice. Filter the residue obtained at the pump and wash with cold water. Transfer the residue to 600ml beaker containing 10ml water and 35 ml con. Hydrochloric acid and boil for 15 minutes. m-nitroanile dissolves leaving the sulphur and any unchanged mdinitrobenzene. Filter and add excess of concentrated ammonia to the filtrate by which mnitroaniline is crystallized. Recrystallize a small portion from hot water. Record the yield and melting point.
Organic preparation II (a) Preparation of tribromoaniline Dissolve 4 grams of aniline in four times its weight of glacial acetic acid in a beaker. Keep on a mechanical stirrer. Add from a burette drop by drop with stirring bromine dissolved in glacial acetic acid (1:2 ratios). The beaker must be cooled in ice during addition as the reaction is exothermic. The final product( a pasty mass) should be coloured yellow by addition of little more bromine if necessary. Pour into excess water, filter at pump, wash well with water press thoroughly and dry. Recrystallize a small portion from methylated spirit or rectified sprit, dry and determine the melting point. (120). (b) sym.- tribromobenzene Dissolve 10 gram of sys.-tribromoaniline in 60ml of rectified spirit and 15 ml benzene in a 200ml bolt head flask by heating on a water bath. Add from a burette3.5 ml of concentrate sulphuric acid to the hot solution and gently swirl the liquid. Attach a reflux condenser to the flask and heat on a water bathutill the cleat solution boils. Detach the condenser, remove the flask from the water bath, and add 3.5g of powdered sodium nitrite in two approximately equal portions; after each addition fit the condenser to the flask and shake the flask vigorously. The heat of the reaction will cause the solution to boil vigorously; when the reaction subsides, add the second portion of the sodium nitrite. Heat the flask on a boiling water bath as long as the gas is evolved; shake well from time to time. Allow the solution to cool for 10 minutes, and then immerse the flask in an ice bath. A mixture of tribromobenzene and sodium sulphate crystallizes out. Filter with suction on a buckner funnel, wash with a small quantity of alcohol, and then repeatedly with water to remove all the sodium sulphate. Dissolve the crude tribromobenzene in a boiling mixture of 120ml of glacial acetic acid and 30 ml of water, boil the solution with 2.5 gram of decolousrising carbon, and filter through a hot water funnel or pre heated buckner funnel: allow the solution to cool. Collect the crystals on Buckner funnel and wash with small quantity of chilled rectified spirit to remove the acetic acid. Dry in air upon filter paper. Record the yield and melting point (6.5g; 122C)
