(D) Excited-state configuration of N1 and N8 in CH 2Cl 2.(E) Nitroarene performance in the cleavage of 1a and 1d on the basis of calculated E(p,p*)–E(n,p*) values (kcal mol−1). (F) Chemoselective oxidative cleavage of alkenes over aromatics and vice versa.

In this perspective, we discuss the photophysical properties of nitroarenes, their ability to react expediently with systems, their capability of functionalizing sp3 al-kanes, and their adoption as photolabile protecting groups, as well as their increasing use in electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes for the initiation of organic transformations.

Jan 10, 2025 · Common transformations involving nitroarenes include nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S N Ar) reactions, where the nitro group functions both as a potent electron-withdrawing group that activates the aromatic ring and as …

Aug 24, 2023 · Based on our previous work on hydrocarbon oxidation using nitroarene photochemistry, we hypothesized the possibility of harnessing multiple HAT events with nitroarenes to promote the anaerobic oxidation of heteroatom systems …

Mar 28, 2022 · Here we report on an earth-abundant, plasmonic nano-photocatalyst, with an excellent reaction rate towards the selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics. With solar light as the only energy...

Aug 5, 2022 · Herein we report the anaerobic cleavage of alkenes into carbonyl compounds using nitroarenes as oxygen transfer reagents under visible light. This approach serves as a safe and practical alternative to mainstream oxidative cleavage protocols, such as ozonolysis and the Lemieux–Johnson reaction.

Common transformations involving nitroarenes include nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S N Ar) reactions, where the nitro group functions both as a potent electron-withdrawing group that activates the aromatic ring and as a leaving group facilitating the substitution.
