Reactions of Aromatic Nitro Compounds with Bases

Abstract: Aromatic nitro compounds can react in many ways with bases. The reaction path followed depends mainly on the degree of nitration (with a sharp jump from mononitro to di-and trinitro compounds) and the base used. Redox reactions or nucleophilic aromatic substitutions predominate with mononitro compounds, whereas Meisenheimer additions together with nucleophilic aromatic substitutions are preferred by dinitro and trinitro compounds; deprotonations are less common. The bromize in nitrobromobenzenes can be replace… Show more

“…[I.] (19), both inductive and resonance effects of substituent Y would each exert its influence (20). In a 1978 review on nucleophilic displacement of aromatic nitro groups (21), examples were cited that under different experimental conditions for various substrates, selective displacement of the nitro or chloro group, or competitive displacement of both nitro and chloro groups, could take place, but Can fast Y no detailed mechanistic explanations were presented.…”

“…The capability of aromatic nitro compounds to interact with bases by a number of mechanisms has led to controversy regarding the occurrence and importance of nuclear hydrogen exchange (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). In the case of 1,3-dinitrobenzene (DNB), the species that have been postulated to be formed at different times through action of a base Y: are a charge transfer complex 1, a radical anion 2, covalent adducts (also known as Meisenheimer or o-complexes) 3 and 4, as well as the carbanions 5 and 6 which are the presumed intermediates in proton exchange.…”

“…A variety of o-complexes which are For personal use only. closely analogous to 3 and 4 have been characterized by nmr as well as uv-vis spectroscopy (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). However, there is as yet no unambiguous uv-vis or nmr evidence for the carbanions 5 and 6.…”

“…When various electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) such as -NO 2 , -CN, -CF 3 or -SO 2 CF 3 are attached to an aromatic ring, the anionic sigma complex formed from nucleophilic attack is stabilized through delocalization of the negative charge onto the EWG in conjugation with the aromatic nucleus [18]. Due to the importance of this subject, several reviews describe the formation and stabilization of anionic sigma complexes [18][19][20][21][22].…”
