Reactions of N2O4 with organic compounds

The previously described method for the one-step synthesis of aryltrinitromethanes from araldoximes may be utilized for the preparation of trinitromethyl derivatives of pyridine and thiophene. In the latter case, in addition to the conversion of the oxime group into the trinitromethyl group, nitration of the thiophene ring also occurs.For part VII, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 590–591, May, 1970.
