E. Stumpp et S. Ebinal, APPLICATION OF METAL NITRATE GIC AS NITRATION REAGENT FOR AROMATIC-COMPOUNDS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 244, 1994, pp. 207-212
Hitherto, certain metal nitrates were used as nitrating reagents for a
romatic compounds. In this work Zr(NO3)(4)-GIC was used as nitrating r
eagent for toluene and phenol in different solvents to give the nitro
products in various yields. The reaction products were separated and i
dentified by gas chromatography. The GICs were examined by X-ray diffr
action and thermogravimetric analysis. Depending on the solvent, the Z
r(NO3)(4)-GIC showed a different reactivity towards the aromatic compo
unds.
