In the presence of ozone, nitrogen dioxide rapidly reacts with acetanilides ortho-selectively at low temperatures, giving a high proportion of ortho-nitro derivatives in good yields.
Abstract Nitration of N-acetyl anilides using a simple combination of AgNO3 and K2S2O8 as a stable nitro source and an oxidant, respectively, was explored. The reaction was practical to operate and proceeded under considerably mild reaction conditions (reflux in acetonitrile) within acceptable reaction time (6 h). The para-substituted N-acetyl anilides gave only ortho-nitrated products in moderate

A process for producing aromatic nitro compound which comprises nitrating an aromatic compound by blowing oxygen or air containing a nitrogen oxide and ozone into a solution or suspension thereof in an organohalogen solvent. The use of the oxygen or air containing a nitrogen oxide and ozone as the nitrating agent makes it possible to produce an aromatic nitro compound under mild conditions without using any inorganic acid and to remove various troubles accompanying the use of an inorganic acid in the conventional production process.

Cholinesterases, in addition to their well-known esterase action, also show an aryl acylamidase (AAA) activity whereby they catalyze the hydrolysis of amides of certain aromatic amines. The biological function of this catalysis is not known. Furthermore, it is not known whether the esterase catalytic site is involved in the AAA activity of cholinesterases. It has been speculated that the AAA activity, especially that of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), may be important in the development of the nervous system and in pathological processes such as formation of neuritic plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The substrate generally used to study the AAA activity of cholinesterases is N-(2-nitrophenyl)acetamide. However, use of this substrate requires high concentrations of enzyme and substrate, and prolonged periods of incubation at elevated temperature. As a consequence, difficulties in performing kinetic analysis of AAA activity associated with cholinesterases have hampered understanding this activity. Because of its potential biological importance, we sought to develop a more efficient and specific substrate for use in studying the AAA activity associated with BuChE, and for exploring the catalytic site for this hydrolysis. Here, we describe the structure-activity relationships for hydrolysis of anilides by cholinesterases. These studies led to a substrate, N-(2-nitrophenyl)trifluoroacetamide, that was hydrolyzed several orders of magnitude faster than N-(2-nitrophenyl)acetamide by cholinesterases. Also, larger N-(2-nitrophenyl)alkylamides were found to be more rapidly hydrolyzed by BuChE than N-(2-nitrophenyl)acetamide and, in addition, were more specific for hydrolysis by BuChE. Thus, N-(2-nitrophenyl)alkylamides with six to eight carbon atoms in the acyl group represent suitable specific substrates to investigate further the function of the AAA activity of BuChE. Based on the substrate structure-activity relationships and kinetic studies, the hydrolysis of anilides and esters of choline appears to utilize the same catalytic site in BuChE.
