M. Lehnig et K. Schurmann, N-15-CIDNP DURING PHOTONITRATION OF PHENOL WITH TETRANITROMETHANE ANDREACTIONS WITH NITRIC AND NITROUS-ACID, EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, (5), 1998, pp. 913-918
During the irradiation of phenol (1) with N-15-enriched tetranitrometh
ane in acetonitrile, and during the reaction of 1 with N-15-enriched n
itric acid and nitrous acid, emission due to the nitration products o-
and p-nitrophenol (2a, 2b) is observed in the N-15-NMR spectra. The C
IDNP effects are built up by radical pairs formed by the encounters of
the radicals NO2. and 1(+.) or PhO.. During the reaction of 1 with ni
trous acid, 2b is formed, in part due to a non-radical reaction, via o
xidation of p-nitrosophenol (3).
