Abstract

Syntheses of [13C6]-2,4-dinitroanisole (ring- 13C6) from [13C6]-anisole (ring-13C6) and [15N2]-2,4- dinitroanisole from anisole using in situ generated acetyl nitrate and [ 15N]-acetyl nitrate, respectively, are described. Treatment of [ 13C6]-anisole (ring-13C6) with acetyl nitrate generated in 100% HNO3 gave [13C 6]-2,4-dinitroanisole (ring-13C6) in 83% yield. Treatment of anisole with [15N]-acetyl nitrate generated in 10 N [15N]-HNO3 gave [15N2]-2,4- dinitroanisole in 44% yield after two cycles of nitration. Byproducts in the latter reaction included [15N]-2-nitroanisole and [ 15N]-4-nitroanisole.
