Kinetics and Products of Nitrotoluene Oxidation with Ozone in Acetic Acid.-The reaction of 2-, 3-, or 4-nitrotoluene with ozone is studied. The reaction is shown to mainly afford products of ozonization of the aromatic ring (cyclic trioxides and complex linear peroxides) while the methyl group oxidation products (nitrobenzaldehydes and nitrobenzoic acids) are only minor products. Additionally the methyl group oxidation is sterically hindered in 2-nitrotoluene. At temperatures over 40 • C a chain reaction mechanism is proposed. -(GALSTYAN, A. G.; GALSTYAN, G. A.; TYUPALO, N.
