Abstract

The reaction between alkyl nitrites, particularly n-butyl nitrite, and tertiary aromatic amines under a variety of experimental conditions promptly yielded products of N-dealkylation-N- nitrosation, ring nitration, ipso-substitution and, occasionally, combinations of these processes. Aminoethers were detected as final products and intermediates on the way to N- nitrosations. Reaction pathways are suggested for some of the observed behaviours on ...
