Abstract

Nitration of aromatic compounds is an industrially important organic reaction since the nitro aromatic compounds are key intermediates for fine chemicals and also many useful materials [1], [2] and [3]. Traditional method for the nitration of aromatic rings utilizes mixed concentrated nitric-sulfuric acids. Disposal of the corrosive and acidic liquors presents a serious environmental concern, which makes this method uneconomical and unsafe. Furthermore, this method is ...
