Studies on Photochemical Reactions of Air Pollutants. IX. Formation of o-Nitrophenol and p-Nitrophenol by Reaction of Benzene Oxide with NO₂ in Air

Abstract

When benzene oxide was brought into contact with nitrogen dioxide in air, o-nitro-phenol and p-nitrophenol were formed together with fog. Benzene oxide seems to be an intermediate in the photochemical reaction of benzene with nitrogen dioxide in air.
