Abstract

Abstract Reactions of the epimeric 4-nitrocyclohexa-2, 5-dienyl acetates (10) and (11) with nitrogen dioxide in acetic anhydride give closely similar mixtures of the nitro aromatic compounds (12)-(15), three polynitro nitrate esters (16)-(18), and two polynitro acetates (19) and (20). X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for compounds (16)-(18).
