Abstract
Nitration of acenaphthene (AcN) with either nitric acid or metallic nitrates in acetic anhydride has been studied by means of the differential thermal analysis (DTA) technique. A thermistor bead, on which a small amount of AcN was pasted, was inserted in a reaction vessel being kept at 20°C, and the temperature change due to the reaction was recorded. It was found that the thermal variation at the earlier stages of reaction is correlated with the reactivity of the nitrating agents used. The order of the reactivity of nitrating agents was determined from the heights of DTA curves.
