Abstract

Aromatic compounds were nitrated efficiently under essentially neutral conditions by employing Ph2PCl in the presence of I2 and AgNO3. This method minimizes waste products compared to traditional methods and gives the corresponding mononitro derivatives in good to excellent yields in dichloromethane at room temperature.
