Dinitro bromobenzenes

Nitration using this reagent was first investigated, by Francis. He showed that benzene and some of its homologues bromobenzene, benzonitrile, benzoyl chloride, benzaldehyde and some related compounds, and phenol were mono-nitrated in solutions of benzoyl nitrate in carbon tetrachloride anilines would not react cleanly and a series of naphthols yielded dinitro compounds. Further work on the orientation of substitution associated this reagent with higher proportions of o-substitution than that brought about by nitric acid this point is discussed below ( 5.3.4).

Method A. Note This method yieids 1,3-dinitrobenzene from benzene or nitrobenzene and the 4-nitro derivative from chioro- or bromobenzene, benzyi chioride, or toiuene dinitro derivatives are obtained from phenoi, acetaniiide, naphthaiene, and biphenyi. 

Mononitration of 1-hydroxynaphthalene could be obtained by use of ammonium hexanitra-tocerate(IV) supported on silica gel in acetonitrile (Chawla and Mittal, 1985) (scheme 39). The same reaction with CAN in acetic acid give the 2,4- and 4,6-dinitro derivatives. By the same method, 2-hydroxy naphthalene is converted into l-nitro-2-hydroxy naphthalene and 4-nitro-2-hydroxynaphthalene (scheme 40). The 1-alkoxynaphthalenes can be mononitrated regioselectively in the 4-position (scheme 41). The lower reactivity of CAN supported on silica gel is also evident from the fact that naphthalene derivatives are not oxidized into 1,4-naphthoquinones. The authors noticed that no reaction could be observed when ammonium hexanitratocerate(IV) was replaced by a mixture of ammonium nitrate and ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate. Silica supported CAN has also been used for the nitration of methoxyben-zenes (Grenier et al., 1999) and less electron rich aromatic compounds like benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene (Mellor et al., 2000) (scheme 42). For the less electron rich aromatics, dichloromethane is used as solvent instead of acetonitrile. In most cases, the yields are good to excellent.
