Abstract

Treatment of N-methyl-N-nitro-9-aminoanthracene with sulphuric acid (ca. 7N) yielded 10-nitroanthrone (90%) together with nitrous acid (5%). The reaction which involved intramolecular shift of the nitro-group, was first order in substrate its rate was linearly correlated with the h0 function; but, unexpectedly, the reaction had a solvent isotope effect (kD2O/kH2O) of less than unity.
