The Rearrangement of Aromatic Compounds. Part 3. The Mechanism of Rearrangement of Nitrated Hydrocarbons in Trifluoromethanesulphonic Acid

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.

Aromatic Substitution. 471. Acid-Catalyzed Transfer Nitration of Aromatics with N-Nitropyrazole, a Convenient New Nitrating Agent

N-Nitropyrazole in the presence of Lewis or Bronsted acid catalysts was found to be an effective transfer nitrating agent for aromatic substrates.The nature of the acid catalyst both substrate and positional selectivies of the nitration of alkylbenzenes.No relationship was found between substrate and positional selectivities, which are considered to be determined in two separate steps.
