Novel Reactions: Part I - Facile Synthesis of Substituted ortho-Chloranilines from Nitrobenzene Derivatives

N-Substituted benzo and acetohydroxamic acids (5), prepared from N-arylhydroxylamines and benzoyl or acetyl chloride, react readily with thionyl chloride at low temperature to give ortho-chloroanilide derivatives (6) in good yield.The latter (6) on hydrolysis give ortho-chloroanilines (10).Since the N-arylhydroxylamines are obtained from nitroarenes by partial reduction, the overall reaction amounts to the preparation of 10 from nitroarenes.
