Preparation of N-alkyl derivatives of 1-bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene and 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene: An alternative to nucleophilic aromatic substitution practices

Preparation of the title compounds are described as an alternative nucleophilic aromatic substitution for practices in the graduate laboratory. The low toxicity and disponibility of the reagents make a suitable procedure approach to experiments regarding this aromatic reaction.
