Abstract:
A method for producing a nitrobenzene compound represented by general formula (2),wherein R1 and R5 are the same or different, and each is a halogen atom or another functional group, and R2, R3, and R4 are the same or different, and each is a hydrogen atom or another functional group, comprises oxidizing an aniline compound represented by general formula (1), wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are the same as described above, with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a tungsten compound under an acidic condition, followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide under a neutral to alkaline condition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the production of ketomalonic acid compounds or hydrates thereof by reacting a malonic acid compound with one or more chlorous acid compounds selected from among chlorous acid and chlorites and thus oxidizing the methylene group of the malonic acid compound. The process does not necessitate highly toxic reagents, lowly safe reagents, special reactants, special reaction equipment, expensive reagents, expensive catalysts, or transition metals such as noble metals, and permits the selection of mild reaction conditions and simple operation, thus enabling efficient and easy production of ketomalonic acid compounds such as ketomalonic diesters under simple and easy conditions suitable for industrialization.
