General Description

2-Nitrobenzophenone is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H9NO3. It is a yellow solid that is often used as a fluorescent whitening agent for plastics and fibers. 2-Nitrobenzophenone is also used as a photoinitiator in the production of photopolymers and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is a nitroaromatic compound, which means it contains a nitro group (NO2) attached to an aromatic ring. The compound is considered to be potentially hazardous, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and should therefore be handled and stored with caution.

NITRATION

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a nitrated compound, comprising the step of reacting a compound (A) comprising at least one substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, wherein said heteroaromatic ring comprises at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, phosphor, selenium and nitrogen, with a compound of formula (I) wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and nitro.

Synthesis of Functionalized Ketones from Acid Chlorides and Organolithiums by Extremely Fast Micromixing

Synthesis of ketones containing various functional groups from acid chlorides bearing electrophilic functional groups and functionalized organolithiums was achieved using a flow microreactor system. Extremely fast mixing is important for high chemoselectivity.

α-Chlorobenzylation of Nitroarenes via Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution with Benzylidene Dichloride: Umpolung of the Friedel-Crafts Reaction

Readily available α,α-dichlorotoluenes enter a vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) reaction with electron-deficient arenes to give α-chlorobenzylated nitrobenzenes, as well as six- and five-membered heterocycles. Oxidation of the initially formed α-chlorobenzylic carbanions instead of protonation results in formation of diaryl ketones, providing a means for overall nucleophilic C-H benzoylation of electron-deficient aromatic rings. Alternatively, benzoylated nitroarenes can be obtained via the reaction of isolated α-chlorodiarylmethanes with sodium azide.
