Abstract
p-Nitrophenolic compounds, e.g., p-nitrophenol itself, are selectively prepared by (a) reacting a phenolic compound with a nitrosating agent in the presence of sulfuric acid, the concentration of which H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 being at least 60%, (b) oxidizing the p-nitrosophenolic compound thus formed with nitric acid, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the medium of reaction, upon completion of oxidation, being no greater than 80%, and (c) separating the p-nitrophenolic compound which thus precipitates.
