Abstract

p-Dinitro alcohols have been esterified with acids in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride or polyphosphoric acid and with acid chlorides alone, in an inert solvent, 4 in the presence of aluminum chloride by the method of HiI1, be or by the use of the Schotten- Bauman reaction.'Low yields and mixtures are obtained from base-sensitive alcohols with the last method due to a reversal of the Henrys reaction. Although/% nitro alcohols are ...
