Abstract
The halogenation of derivatives of 2-aminophenol with N-chloro- and N- bromosuccinimides at ambient temperatures in acetic acid was studied. With the necessary compounds available, a reexamination of the thermol ytic rearrangement of 2-halophenyl azides to 2-aminophenols and other products was undertaken. It is certain that the rearrangement of 4-hal ophenyl azides to 2-aminophenols occurs but the products identified in this study differ significantly from those reported previously by Sus chitzky et al. (1963, 1966).
