title: Iodide-catalyzed synthesis of N-nitrosamines via C-N cleavage of nitromethane.
abstract: An iodide-catalyzed process to synthesize N-nitrosamines has been developed using TBHP as the oxidant. The mild catalytic system succeeded in cleaving the carbon-nitrogen bond in nitromethane. This methodology uses commercially available, inexpensive catalysts and oxidants and has a wide substrate scope and operational simplicity.
