The Kyodai nitration of toluene and chlorobenzene has been examined in the
presence of a solid inorganic catalyst (montmorillonite K10, zeolite HZSM-5
, or HBEA-25). Regioselection was quite low at the mononitration stage, but
a considerably high preference for the 2,4-isomer was observed at the dini
tration stage.
