The mechanism of the nitration of donor-activated benzenes with nitric and nitrous acid as studied by 15N CIDNP
Lehnig, Manfred
, p. 2299 - 2302 (1999)
15N CIDNP effects observed during nitration of phenolic compounds with nitric and nitrous acid are comparable showing that nitrous acid is not only a catalyst during nitration with nitric acid but also a reactive intermediate. The 15N CIDNP effects are generated in radical pairs formed during encounters of NO2 and arene radical cations or aroxyl radicals. The mechanism given is valid for arenes more reactive than toluene.
ipso Nitration in p-halophenyl ethers
Clewley, Robin G.,Fischer, Alfred,Henderson, George N.

Addition of nitronium ion ipso to halogen occurs on nitration of the p-haloanisoles in acetic anhydride at -60 deg C.In the cases of p-fluoro- and p-chloro-anisole, addition of the nitronium ion is reversible and only small amounts of ipso products are obtained.With p-bromoanisole nitrodebromination occurs.When p-halophenyl ethers containing a trapping substituent, e.g., 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid, are used as substrates, substantial amounts of the spiro diene with nitro ipso to halogen, e.g., 3,3-dimethyl-8-chloro-8-nitro-1,4-dioxaspirodeca-6,9-dien-2-one, can be isolated.The results demonstrate that extensive ipso attack at the halogen-substituted position is general in the nitration of p-halophenyl ethers.Key words: ipso nitration, ether, diene, p-haloanisole.
