Abstract

Sitration of isomeric cymenes, n-propyltoluenes, diisopropylbenzenes, 1, 3, 5- triisopropylbenzene, t-butyltoluenes, di-t-butylbenzenes, and 1, 3, 5-tri-t-butylbenzene with NO2 lBF4-in tetramethylene sulfone solution has been investigated It\% as found that, besides intact nitration, direct electrophilic dealkylating nitration also takes place in the case of 0-and p-cymene, p-diisopropylbenzene, and 1, 3, 5-triisopropylbenzene Similar alkyl ...
