In this overview, it is shown that there are many initial reactions between nitroarenes and nucleophiles: addition to the electron‐deficient ring at positions occupied by halogen and hydrogen atoms, addition to the nitro group, single‐electron transfer (SET), and other types of initial reactions. The resulting intermediates react further in a variety of ways to form products of nucleophilic substitution of a halogen atom (S N Ar), a hydrogen atom (S N ArH), and others. Many variants of these processes are briefly discussed, particularly in relation of rates of the initial reactions and further transformations.
