Nitration of N‐heteroaromatics : The first example of palladium‐catalyzed direct ortho ‐nitration of aryl CH bonds is described. A range of azaarenes, such as 2‐arylquinoxalines, pyridines, pyrazoles, and O ‐methyl oximes, were nitrated with excellent chemo‐ and regioselectivity (see scheme; DCE=1,2‐dichloroethane). Preliminary mechanistic investigations support a silver‐mediated radical mechanism involving palladium(II/III) and/or palladium(II/IV) catalytic cycles under oxidizing conditions.
