“…Traditionally, nitrous acid, which is generated in situ from sodium nitrite and mineral acids, is applied as N ‐nitrosation reagent. Besides, there are plenty of other methods described, such as NaNO 2 /Oxone, 16 NaNO 2 /PhI (OAc) 2 , 17 NaNO 2 /pTSA, 18 NaNO 2 /HClO 4 ‐SiO 2 , 19 NaNO 2 /BiCl3, 20 NaNO 2 /SiO 2 /H 2 SO 4 , 21 NaNO 2 /NaHSO 4 , 22 and many more 7 . This impressive synthetical armory reflects the importance of this chemical class for the use in preparations of pesticides, lubricants, antioxidants, and anti‐thrombotic agents with vasorelaxant activity because of the release of nitric oxide 7,15 .…”
