The nitration selectivity of naphthalene was studied in different organic solvents with 95 % fuming nitric acid as nitration reagent. The yield of dinitronaphthalene can achieve 78 % in hexane. With nitrogen dioxide as nitration reagent in oxygen, the selectivity of dinitronaphthalene in different t...
