Metal-free carbonitration of alkenes using K2S2O8

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Dec 25;49(99):11701-3. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47287f.

Abstract

A novel metal-free oxidative carbonitration of alkenes by a nitration and C-H functionalization cascade process has been developed. This methodology provides an efficient way to construct valuable nitro-containing oxindoles.
