Bio-Inspired ConsecutivePhotocatalyzed C–HNitration of Arenes
Concerned with traditional nitration methods requiring high temperatures, strong acids, or oxidizing agents, we developed an acid-free, selective photocatalytic nitration method using riboflavin tetraacetate and Fe(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>·9H<sub>2</sub>O under visible light. This method efficiently nitrates various arenes and bioactive molecules with high selectivity and functional group tolerance, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional nitration techniques.
