摘要:
A process for producing aminophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfone of the formula (I), which comprises steps:
(1) condensing nitrohalobenzene with mercaptoethanol in the presence of an alkali hydroxide and at least one reaction medium selected from N-alkyl-substituted amides and sulfoxides to produce mono-nitrophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfide of the formula (II):
(2) oxidizing the mononitrophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfide (II) to produce mononitrophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfone of the formula (III): and (3) reducing the mononitrophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfone to produce the aminophenyl-β-hydroxyethylsulfone of the formula (I). This compound is useful as an intermediate for aminophenyl-β-sulfatoethylsulfone represented by the following formula: which is an important intermeidate for vinyl sulfone type reactive dyes largely used for dyeing cellulose fiber materials.

摘要:
An N-substituted amide of a lower aliphatic acid, preferably N,N-dimethylformamide, or a solvent mixture including such an amide, is used as the solvent for the reaction of a 2,4-diaminophenyl ether with an acylating agent to produce the corresponding 2-amino- 4-acylaminophenyl ether. Such a solvent or solvent mixture may also be employed as the reduction solvent for the catalytic reduction of a 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether to the corresponding 2,4-diaminophenyl ether. The hydrogenation reaction product mixture can be employed directly in the above-mentioned acylation reaction, without concentration or separation of the 2,4-diaminophenyl ether. The reduction and acylation processes according to the invention give a better selectivity and yield of the required products than the corresponding conventional processes using other solvents.
