Abstract

Simple aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkylbenzenes, halogenobenzenes, and some disubstituted benzenes are nitrated in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions using zeolite β as a catalyst and a stoichiometric quantity of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The zeolite can be recycled, and the only byproduct is acetic acid, which can be separated easily from the nitration product by distillation; the process is ...
