Only symmetric isomer of trihydroxybenzene (phloroglucinol) on treatment with cerium(IV)ammonium nitrate produces 13-acetoxy-1,3,9,11-tetrahydroxy-2,10-dinitrobenzobisbenzodioxin (I) along with 1,3-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2-nitrobenzene and 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene, while other isomers undergo very rapid reaction with the formation of polymers which are difficult to separate.
