A free radical nitration of olefins with NaNO2/I2O5

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Nov 7;59(89):13352-13354. doi: 10.1039/d3cc04275h.

Abstract

We demonstrated herein an I2O5-mediated radical nitration of olefins with NaNO2. A variety of (E)-nitroolefins can be synthesized in high yields and chemoselectivity.
