Practical catalytic nitration directly with commercial nitric acid for the preparation of aliphatic nitroesters†
Abstract
To pursue a sustainable and efficient approach for aliphatic nitroester preparation from alcohol, europium-triflate-catalyzed nitration, which directly uses commercial nitric acid, has been successfully developed. Gram scalability with operational ease showed its practicability.
