Preparation of 5-Nitroacenaphthene: It can be derived from nitration of acenaphthene. Adding glacial acetic acid into the dry glass-lined reactor and adding industrial acenaphthene (melting point: 92-94 °C) with the stirring. Stirring 10min at 70 °C. Then cooling to 23 °C. Adding 65% nitric acid dropwise at the temperature of 23-26 °C and stirring 1h at 23-26 °C. At last, we can get the product.

Uses of 5-Nitroacenaphthene: It is used as intermediate of dyes. And it is also used as chemical reagent. In addition, it can react with methylmagnesium chloride to get 5-chloro-4-methyl-acenaphthene. This reaction needs reagent sodium hypochlorite, potassium hydroxide and solvent tetrahydrofuran, H₂O, ethanol at ambient temperature. The reaction time is 10 min. The yield is 89%.
