Abstract
1. In the nitration of 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol (I) with 4 N ethereal nitric acid one nitro group enters the aromatic nucleus. 2. In the nitration of 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol (II) under the same conditions, as well as nitration in the nucleus demethylation occurs with the formation of an o-quinone. It may be supposed that this is the way in which demethoxylation occurs in the nitration of lignin.
