Recent advances in ipso-nitration reactions

Abstract

In the present review the various types of ipso-nitration reactions, in particular those advances in ipsonitration reactions that have been reported since the beginning of this century (i.e., from 2000-2015) are discussed. The review highlights the recent developments of the ipso-nitration reactions, a variety of the differences between traditional and modern methods for performing ipso-nitration reactions, as well as the most novel approaches to performing these reactions. In addition, the proposed mechanisms of ipso-nitration reactions are discussed.
