Abstract

Reaction of phenylalkanenitriles and diphenylacetonitrile with aromatic nitro compounds were studied using various base-solvent systems. Four independent types of reaction: substitution of halogen, substitution of nitro group, substitution of hydride anion and electron transfer were observed. Relationship—reaction pathway—conditions have been discussed.
