title: Highly double selective nitration of nitrostilbenes over zeolite.
abstract: A feasible zeolite-assisted ortho C-H nitration of nitrostilbenes has been developed for the first time, which can be used in situ. It uses acetyl nitrate as a mild, easily handled and commercially available nitrating reagent, leading to the synthesis of polynitrostilbenes with double selectivities and in good yields.
