ABSTRACT

The raw material p- Nitro Toluene (PNT) was synthesized successfully using two different routes. In the second route, we obtained p- Nitro Toluene (PNT) clear oily yellow-coloured liquid with a boiling point of 2300C, yield of 54.67% and was confirmed by TLC analysis. This was then used for the production of p- p-nitro benzyl Bromide (PNBBr) in one of the batches placed. The final product p- Nitro Benzyl Bromide (PNBBr) was also successfully synthesized in 3 batches kept as pale yellow to white coloured solid crystalline powder with a melting point ranging from 90-970C of crude, washed, crystallized and recrystallized product. The yield obtained was also in sufficient quantity of about 75%. Keywords: p- Nitro Toluene, p- Nitro Benzyl Bromide, Nitration, Halogenation
