6-Cyclopropyl- and 6-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-1,4-benzodioxanes: synthesis and nitration. Rearrangement of nitro-substituted 6-cyclopropyl-1,4-benzodioxanes using concentrated sulfuric acid
Abstract
6-Cyclopropyl- and 6-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-1,4-benzodioxanes have been synthesized as the first cyclopropyl-1,4-benzodioxanes. It was shown that nitration of these compounds occurs with retention of the three carbon ring. In contrast to simple ethers of cyclopropylphenols, nitration leads only to 7-nitro-6-cyclopropyl- and 7-nitro-6-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-1,4-benzodioxanes, respectively. Nitration of 7-nitro-6-cyclopropyl-1,4-benzodioxane occurs regioselectively to give exclusively the 7,8-dinitro product. The structure of the nitration products was confirmed by their rearrangement to the corresponding nitrosopropionyl-1,4-benzodioxanes.
