Abstract
A method for preparing 4-nitrosoaniline, including reacting urea and nitrobenzene in a polar organic solvent in the presence of a base at a temperature of room temperature to 150° C. The method uses a relatively cheap urea and nitrobenzene as the raw materials, and also a relatively cheap base, thereby decreasing the manufacturing cost. Urea used as an amine donor is excellent in a reactivity to nitrobenzene, and a reaction intermediate is unstable as compared with 4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide to easily decompose into 4-nitroaniline and 4-nitrosoaniline. This allows a reaction time and a process time to be shortened. Moreover, the method is advantageous in that waste hazardous to the environment is not produced as a byproduct.
