Description

The preparation of 2-methylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride is a two-step process. The first step is the synthesis of benzyl chloride by the reaction of benzene with hydrochloric acid in the presence of a catalyst, such as copper chloride or zinc chloride, at high temperature and pressure. The second step involves the reaction of benzyl chloride with hydrazine to form 2-methylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride. The reduction products are generated by the reduction of the nitro group to an amino group using hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium on carbon. This process can be facilitated by a dihedral angle between carbons 1 and 3, which facilitates a nucleophilic addition to carbonyl carbon 1. Benzene is converted into phenol by oxidation with chlorine in the presence of sodium hypochlorite or potassium permanganate.
