Electrophilic aromatic substitution. Part XII. The nitration of 1-acetamidonaphthalene in acetic anhydride, in acetic acid, and in sulphuric acid

S. R. Hartshorn, Keith Schofield

Abstract

The kinetics and products of nitration of 1-acetamidonaphthalene in the named solvents are presented. In acetic anhydride and in sulphuric acid the behaviour is similar to that observed for acetanilide, but in acetic acid, nitration occurs via nitrosation. Earlier results for the nitration of 1-acetamidonaphthalene are discussed.
