A method for the formation of arylnitromethanes is described that employs readily available aryl halides or triflates and small amounts of nitromethane in a dioxane solvent, thereby reducing the hazards associated with this reagent. Specifically, 2-10 equiv (1-5% v/v) of nitromethane can be employed in comparison to prior work that used nitromethane as solvent (185 equiv). The present transformation provides high yields at relatively low temperatures and tolerates an array of functionality, incl ...[more]
