Abstract
Recent advances in the synthetic chemistry of nitro compounds are reviewed in this chapter. The method used chiefly is the nitration, which is applicable to syntheses of both aromatic and aliphatic nitro compounds. Chemical transformation of other functional groups is the alternative. When nitro compounds bearing an additional functional group are necessary, degradation of nitrated heterocyclic compounds is often employed. Incorporation of a building block containing a nitro group is also a powerful method, for which nitroalkanes, nitroalkenes, and α-nitroketones, etc. are used. Ring transformation of nitrated heterocyclic compounds is another approach for nitro compounds; those are not easily available by alternative procedures. The synthetic chemistry of nitroso compounds is also mentioned.
