“… Mononitrated and dinitrated products were observed for most arylboronic acids. In the past few years, various nitro and nitroso sources have been utilized to improve this methodology by the groups of Prakash, Wu and Beller, Fu, Maiti, Goswami, Shen, and Zolfigol, among others (see Figure ). Of all the reported literature, most methods require the use of unstable reagents, harsh and oxidative conditions, and long reaction times, and they display poor functional group tolerance, in addition to the release of superstoichiometric amounts of acidic or metal waste.…”
