Abstract
Zn(NO3)2 · N2O4 and its charcoal supported system were found to be efficient nitrating agents. Mononitration of aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkyl benzenes, halobenzenes, nitrobenzene, anisol, and the highly selective mono‐, di‐, and trinitration of phenol, and dinitraion of substituted phenols were also performed in the presence of these reagents.
