Nitration of deactivated aromatic compounds via mechanochemical reaction

A variety of deactivated arenes were nitrated to their corresponding nitro derivatives in excellent yields under high-speed ball milling condition using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O/P2O5 as nitrating reagent. A radical involved mechanism was proposed for this facial, eco-friendly, safe, and effective nitration reaction.

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 3,5-Bistrifluoromethyl Acetophenone in Pilot Scale with Industrially Viable Ru/Diphosphine-Benzimidazole Complexes

A novel efficient asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) process was developed for the preparation of (R)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanol (3), using a catalyst Ru/(4R,5R)-(+)-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxoane-(R,R-Diop)-2R-(α-met

Synthesis and characterization of Nitro-p-xylenes

In this paper we elected to nitrate p-xylene because this compound has only one mononitro- and trinitro- isomer. Trinitro-p-xylene was used as a starting material for the synthesis of other compounds in subsequent work. The mononitration of p-xylene can be easily carried out at 30°C. Nitro-p-xylene is easily nitrated to dinitro-p-xylene at a temperature of 80°C. The trinitro-p-xylene can be obtained at 120°C. Single crystals of 2,3-dinitro-p-xylene and 2,3,5-trinitro-p-xylene were grown using the slow cooling method and we report the X-ray structure of the former. The thermal decomposition of the compounds was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques and FT-IR. The target compounds were also characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS.
