The mechanism of nitration of 2,3-dinitroaniline in aqueous sulphuric acid. Evidence for Bamberger's hypothesis of N-nitration followed by rearrangement
Abstract
Product analyses and tracer studies involving H15NO3 show that the 6-nitration of 2,3-dinitroaniline by nitric acid in aqueous sulphuric acid occurs mainly by attack on the amino nitrogen atom followed by rearrangement.
