Low-temperature oxidation of substituted benzonitriles by the system HSO3F-PbO2 proceeds with intermediate formation of cation-radicals and leads to substitution of hydrogen atoms of the methyl group or benzene ring. This reaction provides a route for preparation of chloromethylsubstituted benzonitriles, diarylmethanes, diaryls, arylfluorosulfonates and substituted benzamides with cyano groups. In the case of methyl derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine substitution of the first and then the second hydrogen atom of the same methyl group transforms it into hydroxy or chloromethyl group, or into the aldehyde function.

The chemical oxidation of a series of methylated derivatives of benzonitrile in fluorosulfonic acid containing lead oxide leads to the formation of paramagnetic particles characterized by preferential localization of the unpaired electron at the C2, C3, C5, and C6 ring atoms.A computational analysis within the scope of the unrestricted Hartree-Fock method in the INDO approximation indicates that the structure of the obtained particles is described best by structures corresponding to the addition of a proton at the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom inthe nitrile fragment of the radical-cations.
