ABSTRACT:
Methods of nitrating compounds, such as phloroglucinol or a methoxy derivative thereof, are disclosed. For example, a reaction mixture may be formed by combining sulfuric acid and at least one nitrate salt. A nitratable aromatic compound, such as phloroglucinol or a methoxy derivative thereof, may then be exposed to the reaction mixture to nitrate the phloroglucinol or methoxy derivative thereof.
