Abstract

Results Initial experiments indicated that activated and unactivated aliphatic hydrocarbons can be oxidized by aromatic nitro compounds under irradiation, but the yields are generally low. When we compared different aromatic and heteroaromatic nitro compounds, it turned out that 4-nitropyridinium salts are far more reactive than aromatic nitro compounds such as nitrobenzene or 1, 3-dinitrobenzene. The nitropyridinium salts 1arc applied in this ...
