Abstract

Inorganic nitrate salts have been used in the presence of strong mineral acids to nitrate organic compounds. Numerous examples of their use may be found primarily in the patent literature. Olah has recently reviewed the field of organic nitration reactions employing a variety of inorganic nitrate salts as nitrating agents.'Menke has shown that transition-metal nitrate salts, particularly copper nitrate, in acetic anhydride can be used to nitrate certain ...
