Unusual Product from the Nitration of 2,3,4-Trimethylneopentylbenzene: 3-(2,3,4-trimethyl-5-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-1-nitrobut-2-ene. Evidence for the Heterolytic Mechanism of Side-chain Substitution of Arenes

During nitration of 2,3,4-trimethylneopentyl-benzene the neopentyl group isomerises giving the title nitro-olefinas one of the main products; the result strongly suggest the intervention of a carbonium ionic species in the side-chain substitution of arene
