Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.
Procedure: 750 ml of concentrated HCl are added to a solution of 3,5-dimethyl phenol (80.6 g) in 750 ml of 95% ethyl alcohol. The mixture is cooled to 0° C. in an ice/methanol bath. While maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture below 5° C., a solution of NaNO2 (69.0 g) in 150 ml of H2O is added dropwise to the reaction mixture. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for more than an hour and then poured into 9 liters of water. The aqueous mixture is filtered to give a yellow solid which is recrystallized from hot methanol and filtered to give 71.45 grams of a yellow solid, M.P. 180°-181° C. (dec). While maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture below 5° C. The aqueous mixture is filtered to give a yellow solid which is recrystallized from hot methanol filtered
