Abstract
The nitration of 4-(5-R-2-thienyl) but-3-en-2-ones (R = H, CH3, C2H5) with a nitrating mixture and group I and III metal nitrates in concentrated sulfuric and trifluoroacetic acids, as well as in the presence of aluminum chloride, was investigated. Nitration with a nitrating mixture and potassium, sodium, lithium, copper, and aluminum nitrates in sulfuric acid takes place in the heterocyclic ring to give a mixture of nitro ketones. Nitration in trifluoroacetic acid and in the presence of aluminum chloride proceeds with the formation of a single α-nitro ketone. The structures of the substances obtained were proved by means of the IR and PMR spectra. A possible mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
