Compounds of the formula where the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable side effects of reducing serum thyroxine levels and transiently increasing triglyceride levels.

1,3-Dialkyl-2-nitrobenzenes (C6H3R2NO2; R = Me, Et, and Pri) rearrange in trifluoromethanesulphonic acid to the corresponding 4-nitro derivatives; with R = Et, this reaction is accompanied by dehydration to 7-ethyl-3-methylanthranil.The reaction rate increases markedly with the size of the alkyl group; with R = Me, the reaction was studied at 110 deg C but, with R = Pri, temperatures of 36-54 deg C were used.The studies with R = Me show the reaction to be first-order with the rate coefficients (k1) increasing rapidly with the acidity of the solution 1)/d(-H0)> = 1.45, decreasing with acidity to o.49.Double-labelling experiments with 1H and 15N show the reaction to be intramolecular. 1,2,4-Trimethyl-3-nitrobenzene also rearranges under these conditions to give mainly the 5-nitro isomer.The above results are discussed in terms of a direct 1,3-shift of the nitro group.
