- Highly efficient dinitration of aromatic compounds in fluorous media using ytterbium perfluorooctanesulfonate and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid as catalysts
-
Ytterbium perfluorooctanesulfonate [Yb(OPf)3] and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid [PfOH] catalyze the highly efficient dinitration of toluene, benzene, benzyl chloride, and chlorobenzene in fluorous media. Notably the process produces almost no waste acid, as opposed to the traditional case. The fluorous phase-containing catalyst could be easily and efficiently recovered for reuse by simple phase separation. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Photochemical generation of radical cations of dithienothiophenes, condensed thiophene trimers, studied by laser flash photolysis
-
Photoinduced electron-transfer reactions between dithienothiophene (DTT) and the electron acceptors, p-dinitrobenzene (DNB) and CCl4, have been investigated using nanosecond laser flash photolysis and time-resolved fluoresence spectroscopy. Generation of the radical cations of DTTs and radical anion of DNB in acetonitrile solution was confirmed by transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. Observed transient absorption bands corresponded to those of radical ions generated by γ irradiation in a frozen matrix. Electron transfer occurred both from the singlet and triplet excited states of DTT to DNB at the diffusion-controlled rate, ～1010 M-1 s-1. When CCl4 was used as an acceptor, electron transfer from the singlet excited state occurred at the diffusion-controlled rate, while the reaction from the triplet excited state occurred at 9 M-1 s-1 due to small ΔG0 for this reaction. For both acceptors, the singlet route tended to dominate the triplet route when concentration of the acceptor was increased. The radical ions decayed with second-order kinetics by back-electron transfer at a rate closed to the diffusion-controlled limit. In cyclohexane, generation of radical ions was completely suppressed and the triplet excited state of DTT was deactivated by energy transfer to DNB.

- Ipso Nitration of Aryl Boronic Acids Using Fuming Nitric Acid
-
The ipso nitration of aryl boronic acid derivatives has been developed using fuming nitric acid as the nitrating agent. This facile procedure provides efficient and chemoselective access to a variety of aromatic nitro compounds. While several activating agents and nitro sources have been reported in the literature for this synthetically useful transformation, this report demonstrates that these processes likely generate a common active reagent, anhydrous HNO3. Kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that the reaction order in HNO3 is >2 and indicate that the ?NO2 radical is the active species.

- Intervalence near-IR spectra of delocalized dinitroaromatic radical anions
-
The Class III (delocalized) intervalence radical anions of 1,4-dinitrobenzene, 2,6-dinitronaphthalene, 2,6-dinitroanthracene, 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrofluorene, 4,4′-dinitrobiphenyl, and 1,5-dinitronaphthalene show charge-transfer bands in their near-IR spectra. The dinitroaromatic radical anions have comparable but slightly larger electronic interactions (Hab values) through the same aromatic bridges as do the corresponding dianisylamino-substituted radical cations. Hab values range from 5410 cm-1 (1,4-dinitrobenzene) to 3400 cm -1 (9,9-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrofluorene), decreasing as the number of bonds between the nitro groups increases, except for the 1,5-dinitronaphthalene radical-anion, which has a coupling similar to that of 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrofluorene. All charge-transfer bands show vibrational fine structure. The vertical excitation energies (λv) were estimated from the vibrational components, obtained by simulation of the entire band. The large 2Hab/λv values confirm these radicals to be Class III delocalized mixed-valence species. Analysis using Cave and Newton's generalized Mulliken-Hush theory relating the transition dipole moment to the distance on the diabatic surfaces suggests that the electron-transfer distance on the diabatic surfaces, dab, is only 26-40% of the nitrogen-to-nitrogen distance, which implies that something may be wrong with our analysis.

- Solvent effects on intramolecular electron exchange in the 1,4- dinitrobenzene radical anion
-
The rate constants of the intramolecular electron exchange reaction in the 1,4-dinitrobenzene radical anion in linear alcohols were determined from alternating line-broadening effects in EPR spectra. Rate constants at 293 K range from 2.9 x 109 s-1 in methanol to 2.7 x 108 s-1 in octan-1-ol. The rate constant was found to depend on the reverse of the longitudinal correlation time of the solvent, τ(L), as expected for a solvent-controlled adiabatic reaction. Applying Marcus theory and the ellipsoidal cavity model for evaluating λ0, the amount of transferred charge between nitro groups, z, and the outer-sphere reorganisation energy were determined, z changes from 0.56 at 273 K to 0.52 at 313 K. λ0 at 293 K changes from 61 kJ mol-1 in octan-1-ol to 80 kJ mol-1 in methanol. The activation energies were obtained from the temperature dependence of the rate constants, changing from 26 kJ mol-1 in methanol to 36 kJ mol-1 in octan-1-ol. The variation of this energy clearly reflects the increase in the exponential term of τ(L) for the more viscous alcohols. The results for the 1,4-dinitrobenzene radical anion were compared with those previously reported for the radical anion of 1,3-dinitrobenzene. Rate constants are smaller in the former, by three orders of magnitude, due to conjugation of the nitro groups.

- Energy transfer, electron transfer, and addition reactions of triplet state of 1,3-dihydroimidazole-2-thiones investigated by laser flash photolysis
-
The transient absorption bands observed at ca. 400 and 550 nm for 1,3- dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thione (IT), 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-imidazole-2- thione (MIT), and 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione (BIT) have been assigned to their triplet states (3IT* 's) by the quenching and sensitizing experiments using laser flash photolysis technique. Short intrinsic triplet lifetimes and relatively high triplet energies have been evaluated as characteristics of 3IT* 's. For electron acceptors, photoinduced electron- transfer reaction occurs via 3IT* 's in the diffusion controlled limit. The nucleophilic character of 3IT* 's was confirmed by changing the substituents of alkenes on the addition reactions. MO calculations indicate that the lowest electronic configurations of both 3IT* and 3MIT* have 3(n,π*) character, while 3BIT* has 3(π,π*) character. The addition reactivity of 3BIT* is slightly higher than those of 3IT* and 3MIT*, which is opposite to the general tendency.

- The polyhedral nature of selenium-catalysed reactions: Se(iv) species instead of Se(vi) species make the difference in the on water selenium-mediated oxidation of arylamines
-
Selenium-catalysed oxidations are highly sought after in organic synthesis and biology. Herein, we report our studies on the on water selenium mediated oxidation of anilines. In the presence of diphenyl diselenide or benzeneseleninic acid, anilines react with hydrogen peroxide, providing direct and selective access to nitroarenes. On the other hand, the use of selenium dioxide or sodium selenite leads to azoxyarenes. Careful mechanistic analysis and 77Se NMR studies revealed that only Se(iv) species, such as benzeneperoxyseleninic acid, are the active oxidants involved in the catalytic cycle operating in water and leading to nitroarenes. While other selenium-catalysed oxidations occurring in organic solvents have been recently demonstrated to proceed through Se(vi) key intermediates, the on water oxidation of anilines to nitroarenes does not. These findings shed new light on the multifaceted nature of organoselenium-catalysed transformations and open new directions to exploit selenium-based catalysis.

- Oxidation of Aniline to Nitrobenzene Catalysed by 1-Butyl-3-methyl imidazolium phosphotungstate Hybrid Material Using m-chloroperbenzoic Acid as an Oxidant
-
Abstract: Keggin ion based hybrid materials, [BmIm]3[PW12O40], [TBA]3PW12O40 and [BuPy]3PW12O40, were prepared by proton exchange with organic cations, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium ion, tetrabutylammonium ion and butylpyridinium ion, respectively. The formation of hybrid materials was confirmed by FTIR, PXRD, SEM, TG-DTA, DSC analysis. These hybrid compounds are active for oxidation of aniline using m-chloroperbenzoic acid as an oxidant. Among the three hybrid compounds, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium phosphotungstate was found to be the best and efficient catalyst for selective aniline oxidation to nitrobenzene. It is a recoverable and reusable catalytic system. The redox property of the phosphotungstate cluster in the hybrid material is involved in the catalytic activity.

An organocatalytic and environmentally friendly approach for the selective oxidation of substituted anilines was developed. Utilizing a 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone-mediated oxidation process, substituted anilines can be transformed into azoxybenzenes, while a simple treatment with MeCN and H2O2 leads to the corresponding nitro compounds, providing user-friendly protocols that can be easily scaled up. Various substitution patterns and functional groups were tolerated leading to products in high to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies utilizing HRMS provide clear evidence for the distinct mechanistic intermediates that are involved. This study constitutes an indirect proof excluding the involvement of a dioxirane intermediate in the green organocatalytic oxidation, utilizing 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone as the catalyst.

Various mono- and diamines are oxidized into corresponding mononitro derivatives in high yield and purity without employing any protection strategies. The protocol was also found to successful on the gram scale.

A convenient and modular synthesis involving diastereoselective Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was carried out to furnish 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles of Ludartin. This reaction scheme involving Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction leading to the formation of triazolyl analogs is being reported for the first time. All the triazolyl products were characterised using spectral data analysis. Sulphorhodamine B cytotoxicity screening of the resulting products against a panel of five human cancerous cell-lines revealed that few of the analogs display promising broad spectrum cytotoxic effect. Among all the synthesized compounds, only 3q displayed the best cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 12, 11, 38, 39 and 8.5 μM but less than the standard Ludartin (1) with IC50 values of 6.3, 7.4, 7.5, 6.9 and 0.5 μM against human neuroblastoma (T98G), lung (A-549), prostate (PC-3), colon (HCT-116) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, respectively. The present synthesis was designed based on the previous literature reports of Ludartin as an aromatase inhibitor. Our work provides an initial study on structure-activity relationship of triazolyl analogs of sesquiterpene lactones in general and Ludartin (1) in particular.

- Dirhodium-catalyzed phenol and aniline oxidations with T-HYDRO. Substrate scope and mechanism of oxidation
-
Dirhodium caprolactamate, Rh2(cap)4, is a very efficient catalyst for the generation of the tert-butylperoxy radical from tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and the tert-butylperoxy radical is a highly effective oxidant for phenols and anilines. These reactions are performed with 70% aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide using dirhodium caprolactamate in amounts as low as 0.01 mol % to oxidize para-substituted phenols to 4-(tert-butyldioxy) cyclohexadienones. Although these transformations have normally been performed in halocarbon solvents, there is a significant rate enhancement when Rh 2(cap)4-catalyzed phenol oxidations are performed in toluene or chlorobenzene. Electron-rich and electron-poor phenolic substrates undergo selective oxidation in good to excellent yields, but steric influences from bulky para substituents force oxidation onto the ortho position resulting in ortho-quinones. Comparative results with RuCl2(PPh 3)3 and CuI are provided, and mechanistic comparisons are made between these catalysts that are based on diastereoselectivity (reactions with estrone), regioselectivity (reactions with p-tert-butylphenol), and chemoselectivity in the formation of 4-(tert-butyldioxy)cyclohexadienones. The data obtained are consistent with hydrogen atom abstraction by the tert-butylperoxy radical followed by radical combination between the phenoxy radical and the tert-butylperoxy radical. Under similar reaction conditions, para-substituted anilines are oxidized to nitroarenes in good yield, presumably through the corresponding nitrosoarene, and primary amines are oxidized to carbonyl compounds by TBHP in the presence of catalytic amounts of Rh 2(cap)4.

- Design and mechanism of iron catalyzed carbon-carbon bond cleavage and N-oxidation processes of hazardous dyes for selective synthesis of nitroarenes and aminoarenecarboxylic acids
-
An efficient iron catalyzed oxidative degradation process has been developed for selective conversion of environmentally hazardous azo and indigo dyes into nitroarenes and aminoarenecarboxylic acids (anthranilic acids) respectively, using polymer supported tribromide reagent at an alkaline pH. The in situ generated and the isolated (defined) chloro-iron(II)-terpyridine- pyridine carboxylate [Fe(tpy)(pic)Cl] catalyst system has been developed and its catalytic function was invented for the degradation process. The different nitrogenous and oxygen ligands have been screened out for the development of best catalyst system, and eventually we explored pyridine 2-carboxylic acid and terpyridine ligands together, were found to be the best. Notably, the in situ generated and the defined catalyst systems have found to be more effective with similar catalytic activities towards the oxidative degradation of both the dyes. As a result, the whole oxidative degradation process has been carried out with Fe(tpy)(pic)Cl catalyst system and the general process utilizes the efficient catalytic method for the selective oxidation of -NN- and -CC- bonds of azo and indigo dyes respectively. The detailed catalysis, mechanistic and kinetic investigations have been made for the reactions. Interestingly, both the dyes proceed with a common oxidative degradation mechanism under identical kinetic patters. A common oxidative degradation mechanism which operates in both the dyes has been proposed and an identical related kinetic model was designed. The main interesting aspect of the present work pertains to the catalytic conversion of environmentally hazardous compounds into useful molecules; such are anthranilic acids and nitrobenzenes. Other special aspect related to catalytic activity of iron and potentially, iron catalyst accelerates the reaction rates with 15-20-fold faster. The reactions were also carried out with different polymer supported trihalide and inter-halide reagents. Notably, trichloride and inter-halide regents were found to be more reactive. The catalytic method developed for the degradation process was found to be very efficient and the involvement of cost-effective reagents makes the reaction simple, and can be conveniently scalable to industrial/technological operations with suitable modifications.

- Regioselective nitration of deactivated mono-substituted benzenes using acyl nitrates over reusable acidic zeolite catalysts
-
Nitration of benzonitrile was investigated using a nitric acid/acid anhydride/zeolite catalyst system under different reaction conditions. Trifluoroacetic and chloroacetic anhydrides were found to be the most active among the anhydrides tried. Also, zeolites Hβ and Fe3+β (Si/ Al = 12.5) were found to be the most active catalysts. For example, nitration of benzonitrile with trifluoroacetyl nitrate under reflux conditions in dichloromethane gave 3- and 4-nitrobenzonitriles in quantitative yield, of which the para-isomer represented 24-28%. The yield of para-isomer was improved to 33% when passivated Hβ was used under similar reaction conditions. This is easily the most para-selective nitration of benzonitrile ever recorded. Also, no ortho-isomer was formed under the conditions tried. The zeolite can be easily recovered, regenerated by heating and reused up to six times to give results similar to those obtained with a fresh sample of the catalyst. The nitration system was applied successfully to a range of deactivated mono-substituted benzenes to give para-isomers in significantly higher proportions than in the corresponding traditional nitration reactions.

First-order rate constants are independent of the concentration of N2O5 and proportional to the mass of catalyst used. Specific rate constants, obtained by dividing the first-order rate constant by the mass of faujasite, are constant for a given faujasite. Amongst the faujasites, they increase in approximate proportion to the aluminium content. A mechanism is proposed in which the protons in the faujasite, near aluminium in the faujasite framework, are replaced by nitronium ions derived from N2O5 in a fast pre-equilibrium process. This produces active sites for transfer of nitronium ion from faujasite to aromatic in the rate-determining step. The similar reactions of 2-nitrotoluene, too fast for kinetic study, reveal that the ratio of 2,4- to 2,6-dinitrotoluene in the product increases with the aluminium content of the faujasite. Nitration of nitrobenzene is also catalysed by faujasite. Relative reactivities of nitrobenzene, 1-chloro-2-nitro- and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene are compared to those found in mixed-acid nitration. Pyrazole can be nitrated readily with N2O5 over faujasites, yielding 1,4-dinitropyrazole in 80% yield under mild conditions.

- An exceptionally stable Ti superoxide radical ion: A novel heterogeneous catalyst for the direct conversion of aromatic primary amines to nitro compounds
-
A matrix-bound superoxide radical anion, generated by treating Ti(OR)4 (R =iPr, nBu) with H2O2, is a selective heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of anilines to the corresponding nitroarenes with 50 % aqueous H2O2 [Eq. (1)]. Yields of 82-98 % are obtained, even with anilines bearing electron-withdrawing substituents (R = NO2, COOH).

- A novel method for the nitration of deactivated aromatic compounds
-
Novel nitration systems comprising nitric acid, trifluoroacetic anhydride and zeolite Hβ, with or without acetic anhydride, are described. The system having no acetic anhydride is more active and readily nitrates deactivated substrates such as nitrobenzene, benzonitrile, benzoic acid or 4-nitrotoluene to give predominantly the product substituted meta to the deactivating group. The system incorporating acetic anhydride is more moderate in activity, and nitrates moderately deactivated systems such as halogenobenzenes quantitatively within two hours at ice-salt bath temperature, and provides very high selectivity for the para-nitrated product. This system also nitrates 2-nitrotoluene to give high selectivity for 2,4-dinitrotoluene production. Furthermore, the system can be used for direct double nitration of toluene and gives a 92% yield of 2,4-dinitrotoluene with a 2,4- : 2,6-dinitrotoluene ratio of 25:1. Even greater selectivity (96% yield and 70:1 selectivity) can be achieved in the latter reaction by conducting the reaction in one flask but in two stages, with trifluoroacetic anhydride added only in the second stage.

- Aromatic radical anions as possible intermediates in the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr): An EPR study
-
The reactions among halonitrobenzenes or polynitrobenzenes and alkoxides, thiolates or tertiary amines have provided the evidence that in a SNAr reaction type a single electron transfer from the nucleophile to the aromatic substrate, to generate two radical species within the solvent cage, can take place to some extent. The detection of radical intermediates by EPR spectroscopy, in several SNAr reactions, is reported.

- A novel method for the nitration of simple aromatic compounds
-
Simple aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkylbenzenes, halogenobenzenes, and some disubstituted benzenes are nitrated in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions using zeolite β as a catalyst and a stoichiometric quantity of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The zeolite can be recycled, and the only byproduct is acetic acid, which can be separated easily from the nitration product by distillation; the process is inexpensive and represents an attractive method for the clean synthesis of a range of nitroaromatic compounds. For example, nitration of toluene gives a quantitative yield of mononitrotoluenes, of which 79% is 4-nitrotoluene; fluorobenzene gives a quantitative yield of mononitro compounds, of which 94% is 4-nitrofluorobenzene; and 2-fluorotoluene gives a 96% yield of mononitro products, of which 90% is the 5-nitro isomer and 10% is the 4-nitro isomer.

- Zirconium-catalysed Oxidation of Primary Aromatic Amines to Nitro Compounds Using tert-Butylhydroperoxide
-
A broad range of primary aromatic amines (1a-x) with electron donating and accepting substituents are oxidized in good to excellent yields to the nitro compounds 3a-x using tert-butylhydroperoxide as the oxidant and Zr(OtBu)4 as the catalyst. The corresponding nitroso compounds 2m,-2n, 2s and 2u can be isolated in the conversion of electron-rich anilines 1m, 1n, 1s and 1u. The aminopyridines 5a-d are also converted to the corresponding nitropyridines 6a-d, but in lower yields (41-47%).

- Kinetics of the oxidation of aromatic C-nitroso compounds by nitrogen dioxide
-
The oxidation of nitrosobenzene by nitrogen dioxide in carbon tetrachloride has been re-examined, the rate of reaction exhibiting first-order dependence upon the concentrations of both nitrosobenzene and nitrogen dioxide, with a reactant stoichiometry of 1:1. The rate of reaction is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of trace quantities of water and intensive drying procedures for the solvent have been developed such that the reaction rate could be reduced to a constant level. For nitrosobenzene and a range of substituted nitrosobenzenes the kinetics of the oxidation reaction in carbon tetrachloride have been studied over the temperature range 291-313 K using the stopped flow technique and pseudo-first-order conditions with the nitrogen dioxide in excess. Arrhenius parameters have been obtained for 15 nitrosoarenes and the results obtained are discussed with reference to the Hammett σ constants and the electron population at the nitroso nitrogen as determined by CNDO calculations. It is concluded that the reaction occurs by a radical addition mechanism to the nitroso nitrogen atom giving an unstable aminoxyl intermediate which decomposes rapidly giving the corresponding nitrobenzene and nitric oxide.

- Cobalt schiff base complex-catalyzed oxidation of anilines with tert-butyl hydroperoxide
-
Cobalt Schiff base complexes [Co(SB)] catalyze the oxidation of anilines (1) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide to give nitrobenzenes 2 and 4-(tert-butylperoxy)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-imine derivatives 3 in yield distributions depending on the substitution mode of the substrate. 4-Alkyl- and 4-aryl-2,6-di-tert-butylanilines gave mixtures of 2 and 3, where the higher the bulkiness of the 4-substituent, the higher the yield of 2. With 2,4,6-trimethylaniline, the ratio of oxidations of the nitrogen and C-4 atoms was almost the same; but a hydrolyzed product 5 of the imine was obtained. 2,4,6-Triphenylaniline gave only 2. Nitrobenzene derivatives were also obtained from 2,6-dialkylanilines and 4-substituted anilines. The catalytic activity of Co(SB) depended on the nature of the SB ligand: the formal potential E° and steric factors seem to affect the reaction rate. Kinetic studies showed that the key step may involve hydrogen abstraction from the aniline, presumably by t-BuO? generated from homolytic decomposition of initially formed CoIII(SB)(OO-t-Bu). A precursor of 2 was found to be the nitrosobenzene derivative.

Dinitrobenzenes and nitrophenols formed as side products in the title reaction leading to nitrobenzene show an isomer distribution that is significantly different from those observed in the conventional nitration using nitric acid or nitric acid-sulfuric acid, suggesting the operation of a non-classical nitration mechanism involving nitrogen trioxide as the initial electrophile.

- Thermal Stability Studies on a Homologous Series of Nitroarenes
-
The thermal stabilities of a number of nitroarenes were examined in solution and in condensed phase.In general, increasing the number of nitro groups decreased thermal stability.Changing the substituent on 1-X-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene from X = H to NH2 to CH3 to OH accelerated decomposition; this effect was attributed to increased ease of intramolecular proton transfer to an ortho nitro group, thus weakening the carbon-nitrogen bond.In solution, the effect of increasing substitution from n = 1 to n = 3 on Xn(NO2)3C6H3-n was uniformly that of decreasing the thermal stability of the species.However, in condensed phase, results suggested that crystal habit may be more important than molecular structure; for X = Br, CH3, and NH2, the more substituted species was the more stable.

- Catalytic selective oxidation of amines with hydroperoxides over molecular sieves: Investigations into the reaction of alkylamines, arylamines, allylamines and benzylamines with H2O2 and TBHP over TS-1 and CrS-2 as the new catalyst
-
The liquid phase oxidation of various substituted amines with dil H2O2 and tert-butyl hydroxyperoxide (TBHP) has been investigated over titanium and chromium silicates respectively. While TS-1/H2O2 combination exhibits a remarkable activity and selectivity in the oxidation of arylamines to produce the symmetrical azoxybenzenes, CrS-2 catalyzes the selective oxidation of various substituted amines to the corresponding nitro compounds by oxidation with 70% TBHP. The nature of the reactive intermediates during the oxidation of anilines to nitrobenzenes has been established using cyclic voltammetry experiments. Further, amines possessing α C-H bonds are selectively oxidized to either oximes or the carbonyl compounds on reaction with H2O2 catalyzed by TS-1.

- Catalytic Autoxidation of Benzoquinone Dioximes with Nitrogen Oxides: Steric Effects on the Preparation of Monomeric Dinitrosobenzenes
-
A convenient catalytic method for the autoxidation of quinone dioximes to dinitrosobenzenes with dioxygen is based on the presence of small amounts of nitrogen oxides.The catalytic cycle is deduced from the facile chemical oxidation of quinone dioxime to dinitrobenzene with stoichiometric amounts of the 1-electron oxidant, nitrosonium-either as the NO+BF4- salt or the disproportionated ion pair NO+NO3- derived from nitrogen dioxide.The regeneration of NO+ occurs by the subsequent oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) with dioxygen to nitrogen dioxide followed by the disproportionation to nitrosonium nitrate in the presence of electron-rich donors.Indeed, dioximes of various p-benzoquinones are shown to be strong reducing agents by transient electrochemistry.Electrochemical oxidation also leads to dinitrosobenzenes in good yields at anodic potentials of ca. 1.3 V.The substitution of p-dinitrosobenzene with bulky alkyl groups stabilizes the monomeric form, which is otherwise extensively associated.

- Ozone-mediated Nitration of Alkylbenzenes and Related Compounds with Nitrogen Dioxide
-
In the presence of ozone, nitrogen dioxide exhibits a strong nitrating ability for alkylbenzenes at low temperatures, converting them into the corresponding nitro derivatives in high yield.The addition of a protonic acid as catalyst enhances considerably the ability of this nitrating system and leads to a good yield of polynitro compounds.The reaction is clean and proceeds rapidly without any accompanying side-chain substitution or aryl-aryl coupling.It shows no kinetic dependence on the concentration of substrates and, as far as can be judged from relative reactivities and isomer distributions of products, it gives the appearance of being an electrophilic aromatic process.A possible role for nitrogen trioxide has been suggested as the initial electrophilic agent for the nitration of alkylbenzenes.

- Oxidation of Aromatic Amines with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Cetylpyridinium Heteropolyoxometalates
-
Various substituted anilines 1 were selectively converted into the corresponsing nitrosobenzenes 2 or nitrobenzenes 3 by oxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by heteropolyoxometalates.The oxidation of anilines 1 with 35percent H2O2 catalyzed by peroxotungstophosphate (PCWP) at room temperature in chloroform under two-phase conditions afforded nitrosobenzene 2 with high selectivity.When the same reactions were carried out at higher temperature (e.g., refluxing chloroform), nitrobenzenes 3 were obtained in good yields.The oxidation of aniline (1a) with dilute H2O2 catalyzed by PCWP (2 wtpercent) in an aqueous medium produced azoxybenzene (4a) with high selectivity.Phenylazoxyalkanes 7 were prepared by the first direct cooxidation of 1a in the presence of primary aliphatic amines 6.For example, the oxidation of a 1:2 mixture of 1a and hexylamine (6b) with 35percent H2O2 (6 equiv) in the presence of PCWP produced phenylazoxyhexane (7b) along with a small amount of 4a (8percent).The reaction path for the conversion of anilines to azoxy-, nitroso-, and nitrobenzenes is described.
