Heteroaromatic reactivity. Part V. A quantitative study of the products of nitration of the quinolinium ion in sulphuric acid
Abstract
Nitration of the quinolinium ion in 80·05% sulphuric acid at 25 °C gave 3-(0·0013%), 5-(50·1%), 6-(1·61%), 7-(0·014%), and 8-nitroquinoline (42·3%). The corresponding partial rate factors were calculated to be 4·57 × 10–12, 1·74 × 10–7, 5·58 × 10–9, 4·76 × 10–11, and 1·47 × 10–7, respectively.
