Direct and Efficient Preparation ofgem-Chloronitro Compounds or Nitro Compounds fromgem-Bromonitro Compounds

Abstract
Sodiumethanethiolate in methanol is an efficient reducing agent for gem-bromonitro compounds; treatment of the resultant nitronates with a protic acid or with N-chlorosucccinimide gives high yields of the corresponding nitro or gem-chloronitro compounds, respectively.
