General Description
Synthesis of a series of heterocyclic derivatives of 3,5-dinitro-
o-toluic acid has been reported.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the acid from H2O or aqueous EtOH. The ammonium salt forms yellow crystals from EtOH with m 218-219o, and the urea salt has m 189-190o (prisms from EtOH). [Beilstein 9 H 474, 9 II 323, 9 III 2316.]
