【摘要】 邻硝基甲苯和对硝基甲苯在碱金属酚盐的存在下,以非质子偶极溶剂为介质,能和二氧化碳作用生成相应的硝基苯乙酸。反应条件温和。当碱金属酚盐与硝基甲苯的摩尔配比为4:1时,可获得定量收率的硝基苯乙酸,间硝基甲苯在同样的条件下不能进行反应。更多还原

【Abstract】 o-Nitrotoluene or p-nitrotoluene can be converted to the corresponding nitrophenylacetic acid by treating the compound with alkaline salt of phenol and carbon dioxide in aprotic dipolar solvents. The reaction occurs under very mild conditions and when the mole ratio of alkaline salt of phenol to nitrotoluene is 4:1, quantitative yield of nitrophenylacetic acid may be obtained. The carboxylation of m-nitrotoluene fails under the same conditions.更多还原
