Abstract
Treatment of the non-purified mixture of dinitro isomers obtained from the nitration of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene with piperidine led to the isolation of novel but minor adduct, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)piperidine (2b) in 15% yield. Yields of nucleophilic aromatic substitution adducts are high when using purified 1,4-dimethoxy-2,5-dinitrobenzene (1b) with piperidine and pyrrolidine to give (2b) and 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine (3b) in 76% and 82% yield, respectively.
