In the m a n u f a c t u r e of many commercial or p o t e n t i a l l y commer-
cial azo dyes, a key intermediate is an a n i l i d e coupler intermediate
of the structure set out as formula I
Such commercial azo dyes are found, for example, in U.S. patents

selected reaction temperature. The lower limit of the time range for
the addition of the acylating agent is critical, to allow the
non-acylated diamine.
hydrogen uptake ceased and the reduction was complete. The bomb was
then cooled, vented and purged with nitrogen, and the catalyst
filtered off. The washed catalyst may be used 5-6 times. The r e s u l t i n g
2.4-diaminoanisole/methanol solution is assayed for 2,4-diaminoanisole
by p e r c h l o r a t e titration. The y i e l d of 2 , 4 - d i a m i n o a n i s o l e , based on
the 2,4-dinitroanisole, was e s s e n t i a l l y quantitative. The p e r c h l o r a t e
theory based on 2 , 4 - d i a m i n o a n i s o l e .
Example 3: 3-amino-4-ethoxyacetanilide
According to the procedure of Example 1, substituting 632 g
of e t h a n o l for the methanol used therein, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene
was c o n v e r t e d to 3 - a m i n o - 4 - e t h o x y a c e t a n i l i d e , in 80% y i e l d .
Example 4: 3-amino-4-methoxypropionanilide
According to the procedure of Example 1, substituting 130 g
of p r o p i o n i c anhydride for the acetic anhydride used therein, 2,4-
dinitrochlorobenzene was converted to 3 - a m i n o - 4 - m e t h o x y p r o p i o n a n i l i d e ,
in 80% y i e l d .
Example 5: 3-amino-4-methoxybenzanilide
According to the procedure of Example 1, substituting 135.5 g
of benzoyl chloride for the acetic anhydride used therein, 2,4-di-
nitrochlorobenzene was c o n v e r t e d to 3 - a m i n o - 4 - m e t h o x y b e n z a n i l i d e , in
79% y i e l d .
Example 6: 3-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulfonanilide
According to the procedure of Example 1, substituting 176.5 g
of benzene sulfonyl chloride for the acetic anhydride used therein,
2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene was converted to 3 - a m i n o - 4 - m e t h o x y b e n z e n e -
sulfonanilide, in 77% y i e l d .
Example 7: 3-amino-4-propoxyacetanilide
According to the procedure of Example 1, substituting 632 g
n-propanol for the 632 g methanol used therein 2,4-dinitrochloroben-
zene was converted to 3-amino-4-propoxyacetanilide, in 77% y i e l d .
Example 8: 3-amino-4-hydroxyacetanilide
According to the procedure of Example 2 and Step 3 of Example
1, substituting 184 g of 2 , 4 - d i n i t r o p h e n o l for the 2,4-dinitroanisole
used therein, a methanol solution of i s o m e r i c a l l y pure 3-amino-4-
hydroxyacetanilide was produced in good y i e l d . For use as a coupler
intermediate, the 3-amino-4-hydroxyacetanilide of this Example may
be e t h e r i f i e d by t r e a t m e n t of the methanol solution thereof with
sodium h y d r o x i d e to make the sodium salt of the phenol, followed by
dimethylsulfate at 30 to 35C.
