About the Author

GEORGE A. OLAH, PhD, - 1927-2017 - was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in hydrocarbon chemistry. Professor Olah was Director of the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. His research focused on the generation and reactivity of carbocations via superacids.

Kenneth Wade, FRSC FRS, - 1932-2014 - was a British chemist and professor emeritus at Durham University. He also served as chairman at the university's Department of Chemistry.

Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive treatment, not of nitration in general, but of the synthetic methods, along with their mechanistic aspects. Covers the reagents, methods, and mechanics of aromatic nitration techniques, including acid-catalyzed electrophilic, homolytic, and nucleophilic; and the aliphatic nitration of alkanes, cycloalkanes, arylalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and heteroatoms. Also discusses nucleophilic aliphatic nitration. For people involved in the preparation of dyes, pharmaceuticals, plastics, chemical intermediaries, and high energy materials. Annotation c.
