In the presence of ozone, nitrogen dioxide exhibits a strong nitrating ability for alkylbenzenes at low temperatures, converting them into the corresponding nitro derivatives in high yield.The addition of a protonic acid as catalyst enhances considerably the ability of this nitrating system and leads to a good yield of polynitro compounds.The reaction is clean and proceeds rapidly without any accompanying side-chain substitution or aryl-aryl coupling.It shows no kinetic dependence on the concentration of substrates and, as far as can be judged from relative reactivities and isomer distributions of products, it gives the appearance of being an electrophilic aromatic process.A possible role for nitrogen trioxide has been suggested as the initial electrophilic agent for the nitration of alkylbenzenes.
