NOVEL NITROANILIDES AND THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

Novel aryloxy-nitroanilides of formula (I) wherein R is alkyl from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or unsubstituted or substituted aryl of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; one of R<1> and R<2> is a hydrogen atom and the other is aryloxy, wherein the aryl is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more alkyl of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, with the proviso that when R is methyl, R<1> may not be unsubstituted phenoxy and when R is 2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl, R<2> may not be unsubstituted or chloro or methyl substituted phenoxy, and a method of preparing them. The compounds are suitable as intermediates for the preparation of anilines, required in the preparation of useful photographic and pharmaceutical compounds.
