Of phenyl heterocycles

Nitrations of aromatic compounds represent one of the most important classes or organic reactions. However, although a lot of data has been collected in relation to simple substituted benzenes, and the reactions have been subjected to quantitative and theoretical studies, the nitration of phenyl heterocycles has been much less studied in a systematic way. This chapter has attempted to bring together as much information as possible on the topic through a manual search of Chemical Abstracts and recent literature.
