A Fast and Mild Method for the Nitration of Aromatic Rings.Dinitrogen pentoxide and catalytic Fe(III) acetylacetonate provide non-oxidative conditions for the fast and high-yielding nitration of arenes. Activated arenes such as toluene (V) react at very low temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
