A regiospecific synthesis of substituted 2‐nitrobenzaldehydes from substituted benzaldehydes has been developed that involves a three‐step process with palladium‐catalyzed chelation‐assisted C–H nitration as the key step. In the process, O ‐methyl aldoxime serves as a removable directing group for the palladium‐catalyzed ortho ‐nitration of substituted benzaldoximes and it can be removed in subsequent conversion of the resulting 2‐nitrobenzaldoximes into 2‐nitrobenzaldehydes.
