Compounds containing nitro or amino groups substituted in the benzene nucleus, e.g. tri-S-nitrotriphenylarsine, are obtained by reducing the corresponding oxides. When the latter nitro-oxides are reduced by alcohohc phosphorous acid, nitro-arsines result, but reduction wth tin and hydrochloric acid takes the process a stage further, forming amino-arsines. The only exception to this is hessamethyltriaminotri-phenylarsine, which is formed by the interaction of dimethylaniline and arsenic trichloride. 

Tri-3-amino-tri-p-tolylarsine, formed from the nitro-oxide by reduction wth tin and hydrochloric acid, crystallises in prisms, M.pt. 198° C. It yields a hydrochloride, crystallising in fine, colourless needles, and a crystalline acid stdphate. The triacetyl derivative melts at 228° C., and a ibenzyl derivative (CH3.C8H3.NH.CH2.CgH5)3A,s is formed by heating the amino-arsine with benzyl chloride (3 mols.), but has only been isolated in the form of its hydrochloride. The amino-arsine also condenses with benzaldehyde and with diazobenzene cliloride.

Amino-2- and -6-methylpyridine have been prepEired by catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding 4-chloro-3-nitropicoline l-oxides3 <, and 2-amino-3,5-diethoxypyridine from the nitro-oxide by reduction with iron and acetic acid but, of course, the use of pyridine 1-oxides as a source of aminopyridines has become of importance only since the discovery that nitration occurs readily at C(4) (p. 174). 4-Nitropyridine 1-oxides have been reduced to 4-aminopyridine 1-oxides by ammonium sulphide and by catalytic hydrogenation " 40i , 637 and to 4-aminopyridines by... 

Azo-compounds can be obtained by reduction of nitro-compounds, or by oxidation of hydrazo-compounds. They are usually prepared, however, by reacting a phenol or amine with a diazonium salt. The coupling usually takes place in the position para to the hydroxyl or amino group, but if this position is occupied it goes to the ortho position, e.g. 

Ordinary commercial camphor is (-i-)-cam phor, from the wood of the camphor tree. Cinnamonum camphora. Camphor is of great technical importance, being used in the manufacture of celluloid and explosives, and for medical purposes, /t is manufactured from pinene through bornyl chloride to camphene, which is either directly oxidized to camphor or is hydrated to isoborneol, which is then oxidized to camphor. A large number of camphor derivatives have been prepared, including halogen, nitro and hydroxy derivatives and sulphonic acids. 

Dissolve 0-5 g. of the substance in 10 ml. of 50 per cent, alcohol, add 0-5 g. of solid ammonium chloride and about 0 -5 g. of zinc powder. Heat the mixture to boiling, and allow the ensuing chemical reaction to proceed for 5 minutes. Filter from the excess of zinc powder, and teat the filtrate with Tollen s reagent Section 111,70, (i). An immediate black or grey precipitate or a silver mirror indicates the presence of a hydroxyl-amine formed by reduction of the nitro compound. Alternatively, the filtrate may be warmed with Fehling s solution, when cuprous oxide will be precipitated if a hydroxylamine is present. Make certain that the original compound does not aflfect the reagent used. 

Oxidation of side chains. Aromatic nitro compounds that contain a side chain (e.g., nitro derivatives of alkyl benzenes) may be oxidised to the corresponding acids either by alkahne potassium permanganate (Section IV,9, 6) or, preferably, with a sodium dichromate - sulphuric acid mixture in which medium the nitro compound is more soluble. 

Comparison of the behaviour of cinnoline 2-oxide (vi, i = O) with that of 2-methoxycinnolinium (vi, R = OMe) suggests that at high acidities the former is nitrated as its conjugate acid (vi, R = OH), but that as the acidity is lowered the free base becomes active. At high acidities 5- and 8-nitration are dominant, but as the acidity is lowered 6-nitration becomes increasingly important. The 5- and 8-nitro compounds are probably formed mainly or wholly by nitration of the conjugate acid, and the 6-nitro compound wholly or mainly from the free base. ...
