Direct N-formylation of nitroarenes with CO2

Abstract

Herein we describe a straightforward N-formylation of nitroarenes with CO2 to access N-aryl formamides exclusively in the presence of iron and hydrosilane as additives. This protocol showcases a good tolerance of a wide range of nitroarenes and nitroheteroarenes.
