Displacement of Aliphatic Nitro Groups by Carbon and Heteroatom Nucleophiles

Abstract
This article reviews novel methodologies to use primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic nitro compounds as electrophiles. The nitro group of these compounds undergoes substitution by various carbon and heteroatom nucleophiles under relatively mild conditions. 1. Introduction 2.
