Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzylic or tertiary nitro compounds with benzene gave normal alkylation products.Similarly, 2-nitropropane (2-NP) gave cumene (1) which underwent further transformation affording a mixture whose behaviour with time was investigated: results were consistent with oxidative formation of the cumyl carbonium ion (7').
