“…Earlier, during research on utilization of aromatic polynitro compounds, 1-4 we synthesized mono and dinitro substituted dibenz[b, f ] [1,4]oxazepin 11(10H ) ones and studied their reactions with О and S nucleo philes. 5, 6 In particular, it was found that, depending on the conditions, the substitution products of one or both nitro groups can be obtained from 1,3 dinitrodi benz[b, f ] [1,4]oxazepin 11(10H) one (1) (see Refs 2 and 5), and the nitro group in position 3, i.e., the one remote from the point of the ring fusion, was substituted in the first place in all the cases.…”
