Abstract
A one-pot nitration of aromatic compounds by ''claycop'', a reagent co nsisting of an acidic montmorillonite clay impregnated with anhydrous cupric nitrate, is reported. Simply by varying the conditions, it is p ossible to drive the reaction at will toward either mono- or polynitra tion. Both the yields and selectivities are superior to those obtained under homogeneous reaction conditions.
