Abstract

Abstract: Relative rates and isomer distributions for the nitration of cyclopropylbenzene and several derivatives with acetyl nitrate in methylene chloride at-25” have been determined. The results for cyclopropylbenzene, 2, 6-dimethylcyclopropylbenzene, syn-and anti-(cis-2, 3- dimethylcyclopropyl) benzene, spiro (cyc1opropane-1, 1'-indan) and 3', 3'-dihydrospiro (cyclopropane-l, 1'(2H')-naphthalene) and related compounds indicate that 3f (cyclopropyl ...
