Abstract

A catalytic protocol for the conversion of haloarenes into the corresponding nitroarenes is presented using copper salts under ligand-free conditions. The method was effectively utilized for the ipso-nitration of a broad variety of haloarenes that includes iodoarenes, bromoarenes, and heterocyclic haloarenes.
