2. Nitration chemistry
2.1 Aromatic electrophilic nitration: general mechanism
This reaction was the subject of a very large number of studies in the 1960s-1980s
. The net balance of the reaction is extremely simple and attractive from an economic and environmental point of view, since there is stoichiometric consumption of one equivalent of nitric acid (an inexpensive reagent) with co-production of one equivalent of water. The reaction is generally carried out in a strong acid medium, with the nitronium ion
