Abstract

Alkyl nitrites were prepared in good to excellent yields by treatment of alcohols and thiols with triphenylphosphine/2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone/Bu₄NNO₂ in acetonitrile. This method is highly selective for the conversion of primary alcohols to alkyl nitrites in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols and thiols.

Key words

triphenylphosphine - 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone - alkyl nitrite - alcohol - thiol
