a novel and safe method for nitration of phenols, anilines and other aromatic compounds has beenfound to be feasible with alumina sulfuric acid (asa) as catalyst and mg (no3)2.6h2o as nitrating agent inneat water as solvent. the use of water makes this method compatible with the green chemistry approach

The increasingly apparent negative impact of human activities on the environment has heightened urgency for chemistry community to adopt greener and more sustainable practices. E-factor can still be considered a valuable tool in this drive, particularly because its broad acceptance familiarity amongst both industrial academic chemists. An important factor broadening adoption green principles is...
