Abstract

Nitration of 4-tert-butyl-1, 2-dimethylbenzene in acetic anhydride gives trans-1-tert-butyl-3, 4- dimethyl-4-nitro-1, 4-dihydrophenyl acetate (6), trans-1-tert-butyl-3, 4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1, 4- dihydrophenol, 2-tert-butyl-4, 5-dimethylphenyl acetate, 5-tert-butyl-2-methylbenzaldehyde, 4-tert-buty]-1, 2-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene, and 4-tert-butyl-1, 2-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzene. 2- tert-Butyl-4, 5-dimethylphenyl acetate and 3, 4-dimethylphenyl acetate are the major ...
