Abstract
Abstract A process for nitrating halogenated benzene derivatives which comprises reacting in the vapor phase a halogenated benzene derivative with at least one member selected from the group consisting of nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen pentoxide in the presence of at least one solid inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina and silica-alumina.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
284 words
A process for nitrating halogenated benzene derivatives which comprises reacting in the vapor phase a halogenated benzene derivative represented by the formula: ##SPC2## wherein R 1 is a halogen atom, R 4 is a hydrogen atom, and R 2 , R 3 , R 5 , and R 6 , independently represent a member selected from the class consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom and an alkyl group, at least one of R 2 , R 3 , R 5 and R 6 being a hydrogen atom, the total number of halogen atoms including R 1 being not more than 3; with the provisos that when there is one halogen atom and both R 3 and R 6 are alkyl groups, R 2 is a hydrogen atom; when there are two halogen atoms and R 3 is a halogen atom, R 2 is a hydrogen atom; when there are two halogen atoms and R 2 is a halogen atom, at least one of R 3 and R 6 is a hydrogen atom; when there are three halogen atoms, R 2 is a halogen atom and R 5 is a hydrogen or a halogen atom; and when there are at least two halogen atoms including R 1 , the substituent halogen atoms are substituted at positions such that the sum of the numbers 1 to 6 showing the substituting positions attached to the inside of the benzene ring in the above formula becomes a minimum; with at least one member selected from the group consisting of nitric acid, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen pentoxide in the presence of at least one solid inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina and silica-alumina.
