Abstract

Abstract Several regioisomeric acetylnitropyrenes were synthesized from isomeric acetylpyrenes by mild protic nitration. Nitration of 1-acetylpyrene gave the 3-, 6-, and 8-nitro derivatives (with 8-nitro as the major isomer), from which the corresponding carbinols [NO 2- Py-CH (OH) CH 3; Py= pyrene] were synthesized. Isomeric 4-acetylnitropyrenes and their corresponding carbinols were synthesized by starting from hexahydropyrene through ...
