Abstract

The regiospecific substitution of a nitro group by a nucleophile from an activated benzenoid substrate is a useful preparative r~ ute.~-'O One preparative drawback to this procedure is the competitive reduction of the nitro group to an amino functionality which has been found in a few ca~ es.~,~ Anion-radical intermediates have been proposed as precursors in the substitution of some nitro benzenoid substrates.'* 12
