Abstract:
A useful and efficient approach for the synthesis of nitroarenes from several aromatic amines (including heterocycles) using peroxide and base has been developed. This oxidative reaction is very easy to handle and afforded the products in good yields. Formation of benzamides from benzylamine was also successfully carried out with this metal-free catalytic system in good to excellent yields.
