Mononitration of durene
Abstract
Reaction conditions under which the nitration of durene give predominantly, and in high yield, mononitrodurene (I), rather than dinitrodurene were found. The nitrating agent was No2+RF6-. Nitration with nitrosulfuric acid also gave mononitrodurene; however, byproducts such as 2.3.5.6-Me4C6HCH2C6H2Me3-2,4,5, were also formed. The NO2 PF6- gave an intermediate additional compound with durene. The reaction carried out with 3.6-dideuterodurene in D2O shows no isotope effect.
