APPLICATIONS
|
Nitro- is the prefix indicating presence of the group -NO2. Historically They
are abundant in dyes and explosives. Nitro compounds, organic hydrocarbons
having one or more NO2 groups bonded via nitrogen to the carbon framework, are
versatile intermediate in organic synthesis of;
- Michael
addition
- Reduction
- Henry Reaction (Nitro-aldol reaction)
- Nef
reaction
- O-Alkylation
- Cycloaddition
- Substitution, Elimination,
Conversion reaction
- Alkylation, Acylation, and Halogenation
