The direct oxidation of aromatic primary amines to the corresponding nitro compounds selectively in 47–98% yields has been achieved by using potassium iodide as catalyst and tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide as the external oxidant. The present catalytic system works well for both electron‐rich and electron‐poor substrates.
