Abstract
A process is provided for preparing 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine from 4-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene. The process includes a two stage nitration and an amination step. Ethylene dichloride is utilized as a diluent and solvent in the nitration steps. Spent acid from the first nitration is reconstituted with sulfur trioxide for use in the second nitration. Spent acid from the second nitration is used directly in the first nitration and evaporation is used to remove nitrosoamines from the final trifluralin product.
