Abstract
| - Bi(NO3)3·5H2O was used as an efficient nitrating reagentin the nitration of phenolic compounds to give nitratedphenols in good to high yields. The nitration reactionproceeded smoothly by grinding 1 equiv of phenol, 2-methylphenol, 4-methylphenol, or 4-chlorophenol and Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, and the nitration of other phenolic compounds couldbe performed in acetone at ambient temperature (22−30 °C).
