Convenient and mild synthesis of nitroarenes by metal-free nitration of arylboronic acids

Abstract

A novel methodology for the direct nitration of arylboronic acids has been developed. By using inexpensive tert-butyl nitrite various aromatic nitro compounds are produced in moderate to good yields (45–87%) without the need of any catalyst.
