Abstract
Indium mediated allylation of nitro group was first achieved with four allyl bromides in aqueous media. Nitro- benzenes bearing 3- and/or 4-substituent(s) gave mainly N,N-diallylated (I or I′) and/or N,O-diallylated (II) products by Method A. Allylation of nitrobenzenes having 2- (and 5-) substituent(s) could be achieved only with crotyl bromide by Method B.
