Abstract

Various aromatic nitrogen compounds were oxidized with hydrogen peroxide and it was found that derivatives of alkylarylamines were oxidized to corresponding nitro compounds in good yields. The mechanism of the oxidation to nitro compound was deduced. The effects of substituents in benzene ring and of acyl functions on amino nitrogen atoms were investigated. N-Acyl, especially N-formyl derivatives of alkylarylamines were shown to give the best results to afford nitro compounds.
