A simple approach for preparation of dinitronaphthalene compounds from the nitration reaction of 1-nitronaphthalene with NO2 as nitration reagent

摘要

A simple method for the preparation of dinitronaphthalene from the nitration reaction of 1-nitronaphthalene with NO2 as nitration reagent under the mild conditions has been successfully developed in this work. The results indicated that Ni(CH3COO)(2)center dot 4H(2)O catalyst shows better catalytic performances, and the conversion of 1-nitronaphthalene is 33.10 % with 34.10, 23.56, 19.30, and 3.56 % of the selectivity to 1,5-DNN, 1,3-DNN, 1,4-DNN, and 1,8-DNN, respectively, under the optimal reaction conditions. This is a mild, environmentally benign, and economical method for the preparation of dinitronaphthalene.
