Abstract

The nitroaromatic compounds are widely utilized in the industry and act as chemical feedstock for a great range of useful materials such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and plastics. Consequently, there is significant interest in the development of new synthetic methodologies to access nitroaromatic derivatives in optically pure form. Conventional procedures for nitration of aromatic compounds, mainly based on mixed nitric acid and sulfuric acid, 1 are found ...
