Abstract
A clay-supported copper nitrate (Claycop) and a catalytic amount of (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl enable an inexpensive and mild reagent system for the nitration of a wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic olefins. High conversions and exclusive E-selectivity, together with the environmentally benign nature of the Claycop reagent, make this a green method and an attractive alternative to established methods.
