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.

Reaction of p-cymene (1) with nitrogen dioxide in acetic anhydride gives polynitro nitrates (4)-(10), polynitro acetates (11)-(13), and nitro aromatic compounds (14)-(17).X-Ray crystal analyses are reported for compounds (5)-(9), (11) and (12).
