Abstract
The novel compound (3-nitro-4-methyl)-phenyl chloroformate is prepared by reacting (4-methyl)-phenyl chloroformate with nitric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid. The novel compound (3-nitro-4-methyl)-phenyl chloroformate is a valuable starting material for the preparation of dyes and crop protection agents and in particular is an intermediate for the preparation of 3-nitro-4-methylphenol, which is reduced to 3-amino-4-methylphenol.
