Reactions of 4-Methyl-1-(1'-methylethyl)-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl Acetates with Nitrogen Dioxide: Towards a Mechanism for the Formation of Polynitro Cyclohexenyl Esters on Reaction of p-Cymene with Nitrogen Dioxide in Acetic Anhydride

The acetoxy nitro diene (21), the C3-epimeric 3,4,6-trinitro-5-nitratocyclohexenes (24) and (25) , the 3,6-dinitro-5-nitratocyclohexa-1,3-diene (29), and the 3,6-dinitro-5-acetoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene (32) are identified as probable intermediates in the formation of polynitro cyclohexenyl esters (4)-(13) on reaction of p-cymene with nitrogen dioxide in acetic anhydride; probable reaction pathways are discussed.The X-ray crystal analysis of 4-methyl-1-(1'-methylethyl)-t-5-nitrato-r-3,t-4,c-6-trinitrocyclohexene (24) is reported.

The Chemistry of Aryllead(IV) Tricarboxylates. The C-Arylation of Nitroalkanes and Nitronate Salts with Aryllead Triacetates

2-Nitropropane reacts with phenyllead triacetate in dimethyl sulfoxide to give 2-nitro-2-phenylpropane in good yield.This arylation of nitroalkanes has been examined with a variety of substrates and a number of aryllead triacetates, and in those cases where there was no steric hindrance the reaction was found to be quite general.Reactions of nitroethane and methyl nitroacetate, compounds with two α-hydrogens, were readily controlled to give either the mono- or di-arylated products.The corresponding nitronate salts were also examined and found to undergo the arylation reaction in similar yield but at a very much faster rate.

The Arylation of Nitroalkanes and Nitronate Salts with Aryllead Triacetates

Nitroalkanes and their nitronate salts undergo α-arylation in good yield when treated with an aryllead triacetate in dimethyl sulfoxide.
