The nitration of the title compounds has been effected with different nitrating agents: HNO3 (either 65 percent or 99 percent in AcOH) and Cu(NO3)2 in Ac2O.It has been established that only the compounds having a high electronic density at the 1 position (2,4-dimethoxy derivatives) undergo considerable dealkylation processes and that either H3O(+) or NO2(+) can act as dealkylating agents.
