  • Process for preparing 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates
    Patent number: 7183439
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of producing one or more 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates comprising the steps: a. bringing an aniline or aniline derivative and nitrobenzene into reactive contact; and b. reacting the aniline and nitrobenzene in a confined zone at a suitable time and temperature, in the presence of a mixture comprising a strong organic base, or equivalent thereof, and an oxidant comprising hydrogen peroxide in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 0.60 moles of hydrogen peroxide to moles of nitrobenzene.

  • Process for preparing 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates
    Patent number: 6583320
    Abstract: The invention is directed-to a method of producing one or more 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates comprising the steps of bringing an aniline or aniline derivative and nitrobenzene into reactive contact and reacting the aniline and nitrobenzene in a confined zone at a suitable time and temperature, in the presence of a mixture comprising an inorganic salt or metal organic salt having a cation that would be a suitable cation of a strong inorganic base, an oxidant and an organic base, the mixture not including a reaction product of betaine and a strong inorganic base.

  • Process for preparing 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates
    Patent number: 6395933
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of producing one or more 4-aminodiphenylamine intermediates comprising the steps of bringing an aniline or aniline derivative and nitrobenzene into reactive contact; and reacting the aniline and nitrobenzene in a confined zone at a suitable time and temperature, in the presence of a mixture comprising a strong base and a suitable phase transfer catalyst. Certain phase transfer catalysts may also function as the strong base.
