Aromatic nitro-compounds. Studies of the amination of 9-nitrophenanthrene and of the mononitrobiphenylenes
Abstract
Nucleophilic aminations of 9-nitrophenanthrene and of 2-nitrobiphenylene have given 9-amino-10-nitrophenanthrene (I; R = NH2) and 2-amino-3-nitrobiphenylene (III; R = NH2) respectively; under the same conditions 1-nitrobiphenylene is unreactive. Some reactions of amines (I; R = NH2) and (III; R = NH2) are described.
