1. For instance nitrate anions can be transferred between water and nitrobenzene . 2. 1, 3-Dinitrobenzene is accessible by nitration of nitrobenzene . 3. Nitrobenzene is a simple example of a nitro compound.4. In this example, nitrobenzene serves as both the solvent and the oxidizing agent. 5. N-Phenylhydroxylamines are typically synthesized from nitrobenzenes by reduction using rhodium or zinc. 6. In some cases nitrobenzene was used to mask the material's characteristic odor. 7. For aryl amines, nitrobenzenes are converted to anilines, and azoxybenzenes to azobenzenes. 8. The degradation of nitrobenzene under both reducing and oxidising conditions in water has been reported. 9. The reaction was first used by Antoine B�champ to reduce nitronaphthalene and nitrobenzene in 1854. 10. It is produced by nitration of 1, 2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene .
