Alkyl nitrites were prepared in good to excellent yields by treatment of
alcohols and thiols with
triphenylphosphine/2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone/Bu4NNO2 in acetonitrile.
This method allows a selective conversion of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols and thiols.
