Abstract

A process for preparing alkali metal salts of para-nitrophenol by contacting para-chloronitrobenzene with an aqueous solution of (1) aqueous caustic and (2) recycled filtrate and washing solution from the preparation of para-nitrophenol containing 5-20% by weight of said alkali metal salts at a temperature of from 180.degree.-250.degree. C. and at autogenous pressure in 30 seconds to 10 minutes with the mole ratio of caustic to chloronitrobenzene of from 2:1-4:1, caustic concentration in the aqueous solution of from 5-20%, the amount of recycle ranging from 5-45% by weight based on the aqueous solution.
