Abstract

An efficient Pd-catalyzed transformation of aryl chlorides, triflates, and nonaflates to nitroaromatics proceeds under weakly basic conditions and displays a broad scope and excellent functional group compatibility. Moreover, this method allows the synthesis of aromatic nitro compounds that cannot be accessed efficiently via other nitration protocols.
