The reductive deamination of various nitro-substituted anilines by the new method (20% H2SO4/NaNO2/ethyl acetate, Method 1) was studied and compared that with a similar procedure previously developed by Pare et al. (i.e., concentrated H2SO4/NaNO2/ethanol, Method 2) for the dediazonization of 4-methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline. The deaminated products derived from the mononitro-substituted anilines were obtained in good-to-high yield by Method 1 depending upon the position of the nitro group to the amino function. The higher yield of the de-aminated products was observed from the substituted meta-nitroanilines. Method 1 was more suitable for the deamination of 3-nitroanilines. Method 2 was more favorable for the de-amination of denitro-substituted anilines than that for the mononitroanilines. Ethyl acetate was more suitable for the reductive deamination of mononitroanilines, while ethanol was more appropriate for dinitroanilines.
