Abstract
An efficient, mild, and metal-free arylation of nitroalkanes with diaryliodonium salts gives convenient access to tertiary nitro compounds in high yields without the need for excess reagents. The C-arylation can be extended to α-arylation of nitroesters and tolerates other easily arylated functional groups, such as phenols and aliphatic alcohols.
