title: Indium triflate-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of nitrosobezene-derived cycloadducts with alcohols.
abstract: Exclusive nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen in conjunction with cleavage of the N-O bond was observed when nitrosobenzene-derived nitroso cycloadducts were treated with indium triflate in the presence of alcohols. Aromatic alkoxylated syn-1,4 aminocycloalkenol products with good to excellent regioselectivity (16:84 to 0:100, ortho:para) were obtained.
