Nitration of Mononitroquinolines

Abstract

Seven mononitroquinolines were nitrated to yield dinitroquinolines. It was found that the nitration occurred in the benzene portion of the mononitroquinolines, and at a carbon with comparatively large values of q_r. f_r^(E), and S_r^(E), except in the case of 5-nitroquinoline (IV).
