Abstract
Toluene and other alkylbenzenes are mononitrated in essentially quantitative yield at ambient temperature by benzoyl nitrate in the presence of aluminium/proton exchanged large port mordenite; the reaction is highly para-selective. The use of benzoyl nitrate in combination with an acidic zeolite catalyst provides a convenient method for high yielding and para-selective nitration of alkylbenzenes.
