Abstract

The reactivity of different phenol substrates with nitric oxide and peroxynitrite was investigated. In general, nitration is the major reaction with peroxynitrite, while reactions with aqueous solutions of nitric oxide led to mixtures of nitro and nitroso derivatives depending upon the phenol. Nitrosation occurs on phenol substrates bearing a free para-position with respect to the OH group with the exception of 1-naphthol, which afforded a 1: 1 mixture of ...
