Abstract

Results The nitrate esters were all prepared in satisfactory yield by the reaction of the appropriate chloride or bromide with an acetonitrile solution of silver nitrate.* Since pentachlorobenzyl bromide and l-pentachlorophenyl-1-bromoethane were both only sparingly soluble in acetonitrile, these two bromides were added to the silver nitrate solution as solutions in carbon tetra-
