Simple and Selective Synthesis of Nitrosoarenes

Abstract

Nitroso compounds have drawn much attention of synthetic organic and biological chemists because of their usefulness as synthetic intermediate as well as interesting bioactivity. Here, a recent report about the simple and selective preparative method for nitrosoarenes using nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate is described. It provides versatile nitrosoarenes including heteroarenes which are not easily prepared by alternative method.
