<p>This invention relates to a process for preparing 4-nitrodiphenylamine and 4-nitrosodiphenylamine to be used for 4-aminodiphenylamine as intermediate of antiozonant, wherein carbanilide is reacted with nitrobenzene in the presence of an appropriate base, while adding aniline to the mixture simultaneously so as to regenerate some amounts of carbanilide as a starting material. According to this invention, 4-nitrodiphenylamine and 4-nitrosodiphenylamine can be prepared in a higher selectivity and conversion rate via the continuous reaction by recycling carbanilide, a starting material, while adding a certain amount of aniline during the process. Further, the amount of waste water can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional method without any corrosive materials harmful to the environment.</p> |
