Abstract
Nitration of 1,2-di-tert.butylbenzene gives, in addition to 4-nitro-1,2-di-tert.-butylbenzene, a remarkably high percentage of 3-nitro-1,2-di-tert.butylbenzene. Upon further nitration of these compounds, 3,5-dinitro-1,2-di-tert.butylbenzene and 4,5-dinitro-1,2-ditert.butylbenzene are formed from the 4-nitro derivative, and 3,4-dinitro-1,2-di-tert.butylbenzene and 3,5-dinitro-1,2-di-tert.butylbenzene from the 3-nitro derivative.
