The synthesis and identification of some N-methylated aminonitrophenols
Abstract
The synthesis of a number of new N-methyl and NN-dimethyl aminonitrophenols is described. Spectroscopy is shown to assist in deducing the orientation of these compounds. In particular, the position of the nitro group, relative to the hydroxy group, can be clearly discerned by comparison of the spectrum of the hydroxynitroanilinium ion with those of the three nitrophenols.
