High yield and para-selective products were obtained by the nitration of methyl salicylate (MeS) and copper(Ⅱ) nitrate(CuN). The results of electron absorption spectra (EAS),Cyclic Voltammetry(CV) and electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESIMS) reveal that the reaction favors a radical nitration mechanism. It is the coordination of MeS with CuNthat promotes the splitting of N-O bonds of nitrate group in CuN, and results in the formation of nitro radicals, oxygen radicals and complex radicals. The nitro radicals can react with MeS or the complexes of MeS to form nitration products. The nitrated complexes immediately turn to methyl nitrosalicylate by Cu(Ⅱ) ions being hydrolyzed to copper(Ⅱ) oxides.
