Nitration of 3,4,6-Tribromo-2,5-dimethylphenol and 3,4,5,6-Tetrabromo-2-methylphenol; Towards a Mechanism of Formation of 6-Hydroxy-6-methyl-2,5-dinitrocyclohex-3-enones

The nitrations of the 2-methylphenols (1a) and (1b) give initially 4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienones (6), which undergo further reaction to yield 2,5-dinitrocyclohex-3-enones (4).Reactions of these and other related compounds are reported which point towards
