The present invention provides a process for nitrating aromatic compounds without the need for a solid catalyst and/or any organic solvents and/or any other additives. A typical process includes combining or admixing a nitric acid and an anhydride compound under conditions sufficient to produce a reactive intermediate. The aromatic compound to be nitrated is then added to this reactive intermediate to produce a nitroaromatic compound. The nitroaromatic compound can be substituted with one or more, typically, one to three, and often one or two nitrate (-NO2) groups.
本发明提供了一种在无需固体催化剂和/或任何有机溶剂和/或任何其他添加剂的情况下对芳香化合物进行硝化的方法。典型的过程包括将
硝酸和酸酐化合物组合或混合在一起,在足以产生反应中间体的条件下。然后将待硝化的芳香化合物加入到这种反应中间体中,以产生硝基芳香化合物。硝基芳香化合物可以被一个或多个取代,通常是一个到三个,通常是一个到两个
硝酸根(-
NO2)基团。
