Reaktionsschritte

Into a flask, 1 mmole of ethylbenzene, 0.05 mmole of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 5 ml of acetic acid were added to mix and the flask was equipped with a gas bag (about 1L)of nitrogen monoxide NO. The mixture was reacted for 8 hours at 100° C. with stirring. The reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, the conversion of ethylbenzene was 85%, and 1-nitroethylbenzene (yield 14%), 1-hydroxyethylbenzene (yield 18%) and 1-acetyloxyethylbenzene (yield 30%) were formed.
