Selectivity engineering in the nitration of chlorobenzene using eclectically engineered sulfated zirconia and carbon molecular sieve catalysts
Selective synthesis of the para-nitro derivative from chlorobenzene by using nitric acid over an eclectically engineered sulfated zirconia carbon molecular sieve catalyst is reported. The p : o ratio in chlorobenzene nitration was found to be very high with eclectically engineered sulfated zirconia and carbon molecular sieve catalyst.
