Abstract
AbstractThe isomer distributions and the partial rate factors for the nitration of eight tertiary alkylbenzenes and five tertiary cycloalkylbenzenes have been determined. The fm values for the tertiary alkylbenzenes are greater than for the primary and secondary compounds. The fp value for (1‐methylcyclopropyl)‐benzene shows that the pseudo conjugation between the cyclopropyl group and the benzene ring is disturbed. The steric hindrance of the nitration in the ortho‐positions increases greatly as the branching of the alkyl groups increases.
