Primary nitroalkanes can be easily obtained in aqueous medium by reaction of alkyl bromides or alkyl iodides with silver nitrite in satisfactory to good yields even in the presence of other functionalities.

The nitration of phenolic compounds with 60% nitric acid has been carried out in the presence of metal-modified montmorillonite KSF and KSF or nitric acid treated HKSF, as catalysts. These catalysts showed good stabilities and high catalytic activities in the nitration process and can be reused. This process is eco-safe and environmentally benign.

A mixture of nitrate salt and chlorotrimethylsilane is an efficient, convenient, and regioselective nitrating agent for the ipso-nitration of arylboronic acids to produce the corresponding nitroarenes in moderate to excellent yields.
