Abstract
Nitration with nitric acid and acetic anhydride via acetyl nitrate as nitrating species is efficient with the substrate m-xylene as solvent. Zeolite Hβ with an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 500 was found to be the most active of the catalysts tried both in yield and regioselectivity in the nitration of m-xylene. The molecular volume of the reactants was calculated with the Gaussian 09 program at the B3LYP/6–311+G(2d, p) level and compared with the size of the zeolite Hβ channels. A range of other substrates were subjected to the nitrating system under the same conditions as those optimized for m-xylene and excellent selectivity was obtained.
