Abstract

Radical halo-nitration of alkenes proceeds easily by radical addition of nitrogen dioxide generated by thermal decomposition of iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate and subsequent trapping of the resultant radical by a halogen atom in the presence of a halogen salt. Application of this method to synthesis of nitroalkenes is also described.
