MONONITRATION DE PHENOLS PAR DES NITRATES METALLIQUES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(89)80139-5

A new and practical route to mononitrphenol in high yields is described using commercially aviable hydrated metallic nitrates.According to the metallic nitrate used, this reaction can yield regiospecifically the ortho-nitrophenol or regioselectively the para-nitrophenol.This method is successfully applied to some phenolic derivatives, in particular to the preparation of 2-nitroestrone.Sodium nitrate with ferric chloride or with titane tetrachloride allows mononitration of phenol.
