Synthesis and properties of new polyfunctional organic compounds derived from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene

摘要

As it is evident from the investigations performed during the last decade, the 2,4,6-trihydroxytoluene (MPG) which is effectively and cheaply derived from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene possesses high and specific reactivity in the reactions of electrophilic substitution. The results of studies of carboxylation of MPG and its transformation into O-heterocyclic compounds, benzannelated pyrane derivatives in particular, are discussed.
