Abstract

This report describes an efficient nitrating system for the nitration of arenes at room temperature by using an equivalent of nitric acid in HFIP (1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol). The π-complex intermediate of an arene with a nitronium ion stabilized by HFIP can be directly observed by UV-vis spectra and is supported by theoretical calculations.
