Process for preparing N-alkyl-nitroanilines

摘要

This invention relates to a process of preparing N-alkyl-nitroanilines selected from the group consisting of N-alkyl-mononitroanilines and N-alkyl-dinitroanilines by the O-alkylation of a nitrophenol to produce the corresponding alkoxy derivative, followed by reaction of the alkoxy derivative with alkylamine to produce the desired N-alkyl-nitroaniline.
