<p>A solvent free process for the nitration of an aromatic compound using an aluminosilicate catalyst which has been treated with nitric acid and an acid anhydride. The process enables nitrated aromatic compounds to be produced in high yields and with good regioselectivity. The process also avoids the need to recover the nitrated product from large volumes of solvent and avoids treatment of inorganic acid waste, both of which may be undesirable for environmental reasons.</p> |
