Abstract:
Ni tration of Hector's Base gives both mno and dinitro products. in each case, only one out of two phenyl rings involves in the nitration process and that ring is the 3-anilino portion of the kkctor's Base. The protonation of the exocyclic nitrogen of Hector's base seems to deactivate the phenyl ring attached to nitrogen at position 4, which in turn, does not react with nitronium ion. Fi nam I y, acetyl at ion of nitrocompounds of Hector's Base and nitration of Hector's Base in acetylating mixture have also been discussed
