Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Synthesis]
It is obtained by chlorination and reduction of o-nitrotoluene. 1. Chlorination reaction In o-nitrotoluene, add 2% ferric chloride as a catalyst, pass chlorine gas at 50-60 ° C until the relative density of the reaction solution reaches 1.27-1.29 (50 ° C), wash with 5% hydrochloric acid, and then Wash with water, and finally adjust pH to 7 with liquid caustic soda. Divide the water layer, evaporate the water, carry out vacuum distillation, collect 120-150 ℃ (5.33-8.0kPa) fractions, crystallize by cooling and filter to obtain 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene. 2. Reduction reaction Add hydrochloric acid and iron powder to the reaction pot, stir and heat to 90°C, slowly add melted 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene, complete the addition, and reflux for 3 hours. Cooling, adding liquid alkali to adjust pH to 8, steam distillation to obtain 3-chloro-o-toluidine. |

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Potential Exposure]
Most of the isomers are used in dyestuff manufacture. The 3-chloro-para isomer is used to kill
birds. It is marketed as pelleted bait for control of bird
populations. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
