Studies on 2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl Substituted Naphthalenes. Part II. Synthesis of nitro- and polynitro-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)naphthalenes

Mononitro-, dinitro-, trinitro- and tetranitro-derivatives of 1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)naphthalene have been synthesised using a variety of nitration procedures. The mononitro- and dinitro-derivatives have also been synthesised from 1-bromonaphthalene and 1-nitronaphthalene via a combination of bromination, nitration and Ullmann reactions.
