Description
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The nitration of a series of the titled pentamethylbenzene derivatives has been investigated in order to know the orienting effect of substituent groups for the side-chain nitrooxylation. The nitrooxylation was found to occur almost exclusively at the methyl groups adjacent to the electron-withdrawing substituents (NO2, COOH, and COOCH3), while with the compounds containing electron-donating groups (OH and OCH3) the main reaction led to the conversion into cyclohexadienone, with the concomitant formation of small amounts of meta-nitrooxylated product. Pentamethylacetanilide underwent side-chain nitrooxylation along with some deacetylation. The location of the nitrooxymethyl group seems to be most likely ortho and meta, the latter being predominant.</jats:p>
