Abstract
The reaction of silver nitrite with iodine in the presence of olefins was studied and was found to lead to nitroiodo adducts. The reaction has the characteristics of a nitryl iodide addition and appears to proceed by a free-radical attack of an NO2 species on the double bond. Stereochemical and regiochemical considerations are discussed. The method provides a selective synthesis of β-iodonitro-, vinylnitro-, and nitroalkanes under mild reaction conditions.
