What method were you thinking about using?

I want to do with an effective and straightforward method. I think HNO3/H2SO4 is suitable but I don't know how I should control reaction to have di-nitro

Why is it important to have two nitro groups attached but not important where they are on the molecule?

I can help you but I am curious as to the application of the product if the regioselectiviy is unimportant to you.

Please would you provide me with more information and I shall provide the information you require.

We don't dump complete answers to advanced topics on this forum.  We like to help people understand homework problems, or a particularly difficult synthesis they're trying to develop.

This isn't a druggie-kiddie forum.  When someone asks for an advanced organic synthesis problem, and clearly doesn't even know the very basics, we get suspicious.  If you think emoticons are a way to support an argument, we suspect even more that you're just too immature to handle a discussion.  So let us ask you, one more time, what do you want, and why do you want it.  What have you done or read about that was similar, and why won't it work for you this time.
