Abstract
A process for preparing a symmetrical dinitrodiphenyl ether from o- or p-nitrochlorobenzene or o- or p-nitrofluorobenzene comprising using a polar organic solvent, a potassium salt of a fatty carboxylic acid containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms or a potassium salt of an aromatic carboxylic acid containing 7 to 12 carbon atoms as catalyst, and either sodium or potassium carbonate to react with the p-nitrochlorobenzene. The reaction is carried out at from 150.degree. to 210.degree. C. until the o- or p-nitrochlorobenzene or o- or p-nitrofluorobenzene reacts.
