In this study, we have developed a facile synthesis of ( E )‐β‐nitrostyrenes by using tert ‐butyl nitrite as a source of nitro group and DDQ as a key oxidant under aerobic condition. This process highlighted that a wide range of β‐nitrostyrenes could be synthesized under mild metal‐free reaction conditions at room temperature starting from readily available styrenes.
