Reactions of 1-(Benzotriazol-1-yl)-1-phenoxyalkane and (Benzotriazol-1-yl)ethoxyphenylmethane Anions with Nitroarenes: a New Approach to Alkyl and Aryl p-Nitroaryl Ketones
Abstract
p-Nitroaryl alkyl ketones and p-nitroaryl aryl ketones are prepared regioselectively by reactions of non-functionalized nitroarenes and benzotriazole stabilized carbanions.
