Mononitration of toluene and quantitative determination of the three isomeric products by reversed-phase liquid chromatography
Abstract
Three isomeric nitrotoluenes, obtained from a laboratory-scale synthesis, were separated and quantitatively determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The proportions of ortho, meta and para isomeric products were found to be 58.5, 4.5 and 37.0%, by mass, respectively.
